308 West 73rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

308 West 73rd Street is a 6-story, 10-unit residential building constructed in 1891 in New York City's Upper West Side neighborhood, currently owned by Zacarias Vazquez. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, most recently evidenced by a January 2025 complaint that could not be investigated due to lack of access.

Several safety-related violations were documented between 2015 and 2018, primarily affecting apartment 4B on the 5th story, including deficiencies in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, window guards, and self-closing doors. The building's fire escape system was cited for defects in 2018, and a 2019 complaint regarding the boiler's condition was investigated but resulted in no violations being found. The property has maintained a good record regarding pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past eight years (2023-2025) and the most recent rodent inspections (2024, 2023, 2022) all passing successfully.

Building permits for various maintenance work have been regularly issued, with the most recent permits in 2020 showing active maintenance of the property. Historical violations from earlier years included issues with the street entrance buzzer, staircase marble tread, and boiler room access notice, all of which have since been resolved. The frequency of housing maintenance code complaints suggests ongoing attention is required for building systems, particularly regarding heat and safety equipment, though most historical violations have been properly closed out in compliance with regulations.
