12 West 90th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

12 West 90th Street is a four-story, five-unit Class A residential building located in New York City's Upper West Side, built in 1893 and currently owned by Sudhir Mehra. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past three years, with the most significant concerns being related to pest infestations and water damage. Most recently, in late 2024 and mid-2025, there were multiple complaints about pest problems, including roach infestations in apartment 4G.

The property has also faced several water-related issues, with documented problems including damp spots and leaks between 2022 and 2023, particularly affecting the 4G unit. Multiple housing maintenance violations remain open as of mid-2025, including failure to properly display required safety notices regarding smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and gas leak procedures, as well as a current violation for a roach infestation in apartment 4G. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of unresolved and repetitive issues, particularly with pests and water damage, despite inspections and violations being issued.

While the property has passed recent rodent inspections in 2023 and 2024, prior inspections in 2019 and 2022 had documented rat activity. It's worth noting that bedbug reports have consistently shown zero cases in the building since 2019. The building's management has demonstrated some responsiveness to complaints, with many issues being addressed through inspections and violations, though some problems appear to persist based on open violations as of 2024-2025. The property has maintained its status as a "Heretofore Converted Class A" building.
