118 West 75th Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

118 West 75th Street is a 4-story, 10-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side neighborhood. Built in 1889 and currently owned by Linda Durante, this heretofore converted Class A building has experienced several notable maintenance issues over recent years. The most significant recent problems occurred between October 2022 and May 2023, involving multiple complaints about water supply and building-wide heat/hot water issues, though no violations were ultimately issued following HPD inspections.

In March 2019, the building faced multiple emergency complaints regarding cooking gas and heat/hot water issues, which resulted in several Housing Maintenance Code violations for apartment 2B, including problems with gas supply, defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, non-compliant self-closing doors, and excessively hot water fixtures. The building's history shows consistent attention to pest control, with annual bedbug reports from 2019 through 2025 indicating zero infested units in all recent filings. Rodent inspections between 2015 and 2024 show mostly passing results, with one instance of rat activity noted in November 2015, followed by consistent compliance thereafter.

The Department of Buildings has conducted multiple inspections, with a gas utility referral complaint in 2019 resulting in inspector access issues. A permit for work was issued in September 2020 under job number 140947625. While the building has experienced periodic heating and gas-related issues, as evidenced by multiple HPD complaints and violations over the years, recent records show improved conditions, with no new violations or serious infrastructure concerns reported since the 2022-2023 heating issues were addressed.
