134 West 92nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

134 West 92nd Street is a 3-story, 8-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, constructed in 1915 and currently owned by Rafael Sowinangoen. The building has experienced recurrent heating issues, with three documented heat/hot water complaints in 2020 (January and February) and most recently in November 2024, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions in these instances.

Additionally, the property has faced water leak problems, with a significant incident reported in July 2021, though no violations were issued following inspection. The building has a concerning history of unsanitary conditions, particularly in September 2019, when multiple complaints of mold and pest issues were reported, leading to violations that remain open as of 2024, specifically detailing mold problems, mouse infestation, and needed repairs in apartment 3B. While the building's bedbug reporting has shown no confirmed infestations from 2019 through 2025, and recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2023 passed without incident, there was notable rat activity documented in 2020 and a compliance inspection also showing rat activity.

The property has received three Annual Bedbug Reporting violations between 2019-2022. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of unaddressed access issues during inspections, particularly regarding heat/hot water complaints, suggesting potential challenges with maintenance response protocols. The presence of multiple open violations related to mold, pests, and wall conditions in apartment 3B from 2019, as well as periodic heating issues, represent the most significant ongoing concerns for resident comfort and safety.
