113 West 75th Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

The 8-unit, 4-story apartment building at 113 West 75th Street was built in 1891 and is currently owned by Sophia Magnone. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, most notably a series of heat and hot water problems in February 2022 that generated multiple complaints from tenants. While these issues were eventually resolved, they required multiple HPD interventions. The building has also faced persistent rodent problems, with recent inspections in 2024 showing rat activity, following similar findings in 2021.

The Department of Buildings issued a violation in 2023 for failure to file the 2022 external low pressure inspection, which remains active as of the current date. The building has undergone various inspections and repairs over the past five years, including multiple rodent inspections showing fluctuating results between "Passed" and "Rat Activity". Several Housing Maintenance Code violations were recorded in 2019-2020, primarily affecting Apartment 2A, including issues with gas supply, plaster surfaces, and smoke detector requirements, all of which were subsequently resolved. The property maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs from 2019 through 2024, with no reported infestations.

Recent compliance inspections in 2024 found rat activity, though previous inspections showed passing results. The building's permit history shows regular maintenance and repair work being conducted, with permits issued for plumbing and electrical work between 2018 and 2021, including a notable boiler-related complaint in 2021 that resulted in an Oath Violation. The property's inspection and complaint history indicates ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heating systems and pest control, despite regular inspections showing some areas of compliance. The building's age (134 years) and history of varied maintenance issues suggest that while some problems have been addressed, certain recurring issues, particularly regarding rodent activity and heating systems, continue to require attention.
