135 West 75th Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

The 4-story, 9-unit building at 135 West 75th Street in the Upper West Side, built in 1891 and currently owned by Jan Zonon, has experienced recurring heating and hot water system issues over the past several years. Most notably, there were two recent heat/hot water complaints in 2025 and 2024, for both the entire building and individual apartments, which HPD was unable to inspect due to lack of access.

A similar pattern emerged in March 2019, with multiple heat/hot water complaints, though one tenant reported that heat and hot water had been restored when HPD responded. The building also faced cooking gas issues in March 2019, with multiple complaints, though these were documented as duplicates of earlier reports.

The building's maintenance record shows consistent compliance with pest management requirements, with no bedbug infestations reported in the annual filings from 2019 to 2024, and successful passing rodent inspections in 2024, 2023, 2022, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, and 2014. An HPD inspection in February 2022 noted a violation regarding the annual bedbug report filing, though this appears to have been resolved as subsequent filings for 2023-2024 and prior years show no infestations. While the building has maintained good records regarding pest control and rodent inspections, the recurring heating system issues, particularly the recent complaints in 2024 and 2025 where inspectors could not gain access to verify conditions, suggest ongoing concerns regarding this essential building system.
