109 West 75th Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

109 West 75th Street is a 10-unit, 4-story residential building located in New York City's Upper West Side, constructed in 1890 and currently owned by Eric Porco. The building has experienced several significant electrical safety issues, particularly during late 2019, when multiple complaints and violations were filed regarding defective and exposed electrical wiring.

These issues led to four Environmental Control Board violations in October 2019, including unauthorized electrical work and the use of unapproved electrical equipment, resulting in penalties totaling $3,025. The building received two additional electrical-related complaints in December 2019, though these were subsequently closed with one resulting in an oath violation being served. Since these electrical incidents, the building has maintained a record of proper bedbug control with no infestations reported in any of the annual filings from 2019 through 2024.

Rodent inspections have mostly returned passed results, with a single report of rat activity in July 2020, immediately followed by a passing result in August 2020. The building has also demonstrated compliance with required permits for various work, with multiple electrical and plumbing permits issued between 2019 and 2020, including permits for electrical work in April 2020 and plumbing work in October 2020. More recently, the building has maintained a stable record with no new electrical violations or bedbug infestations reported in the past two years, and most recent rodent inspections in 2023 and 2024 have passed without issue.
