5 West 95th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

Situated in the Upper West Side, 5 West 95th Street is a 4-story, 10-unit Class A building constructed in 1891 and currently owned by Nicholas Brusco. The property is currently experiencing significant maintenance issues as evidenced by multiple open complaints filed on June 11, 2025, including water supply problems, water leaks (damp spot), heating and hot water system failures, and a potentially serious carbon monoxide detector violation, all classified as emergencies. These recent issues follow a pattern of ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly concerning building systems - the property has recorded multiple heat/hot water complaints since 2022, with the most recent emergency complaint closing on June 16, 2025, while earlier complaints from 2024 regarding water leaks and plaster/paint issues could not be investigated due to access problems.

The building has a documented history of various maintenance and safety concerns over the past few years. In 2024, multiple violations were recorded against apartment 4B regarding defective plastered surfaces and paint in several rooms, including the bathroom and kitchenette, as well as issues in the public hall. A 2023 indoor air quality complaint resulted in a notification to the property owner for correction.

The property has shown some rodent activity, with a rat sighting reported in January 2025, though subsequent inspections in February 2025 resulted in a passing compliance status. Importantly, the building maintains a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases since at least 2019. While some violations and complaints from 2021-2022 were addressed and closed, the current pattern of open emergency complaints suggests ongoing system maintenance challenges that require attention.
