42 West 96th Street is a 5-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1897 and currently owned by Seong Han Yoon. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, most notably a series of heat and hot water problems in late 2022 and early 2023, with multiple emergency complaints filed between December 2022 and January 2023.
During this period, violations were issued for inadequate heat or hot water, particularly affecting individual apartments. Additionally, there were water leak issues documented in 2022, including both slow and heavy flow leaks that resulted in violations.
More recent concerns include an unsanitary pest condition complaint filed in August 2024, which was closed in October 2024 after an inspection attempt, and an ongoing complaint regarding bees or wasps filed in September 2024. The building's maintenance history shows some regulatory compliance issues, including an active violation from April 2023 for failure to file the 2022 external low-pressure inspection, and historical violations in 2019 related to unfiled boiler inspection documentation, which was dismissed after payment of a fine. The property has not reported any bedbug infestations in the most recent reporting period from November 2022 to October 2023, with no units recorded as infested or requiring eradication.
