148 West 92nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

148 West 92nd Street is a 3-story, 10-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, owned by Rony Oved and constructed in 1910. The building has experienced several significant issues over the past five years, most notably recurring problems with building-wide heat and hot water systems in late 2019, which resulted in multiple emergency complaints between November and December 2019. More recent concerns include ongoing elevator maintenance issues, with violations noted in 2024 regarding expired test tags, lighting problems, and communication system malfunction (penalty: $625).

The building has a documented history of refrigerator-related problems, with multiple service requests in 2022-2023, including a violation in apartment 3A concerning a defective rubber gasket. Structural maintenance issues have emerged, particularly concerning building facades, with violations noted in 2021 regarding corroded metal lintels and spalling mortar joints (penalties totaling $3,750). The property has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2019, with no infestations recorded, though there have been periodic rat activity inspections with varying results, most recently passed inspections in 2023 and 2024. The building has a mix of resolved and ongoing compliance issues, including multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2019 requiring better safety notices and building maintenance.

Recent elevator-related violations from 2024 are particularly concerning given their potential impact on resident mobility. While the building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status since 2019 and shows recent improvements in rodent control, the recurring issues with heat/hot water systems, elevator maintenance, and building facade conditions suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has generally addressed past violations, as evidenced by the "closed" status on most historical complaints, though some recent violations remain active. A FISP Cycle 9C Technical Report was not filed by the required date in February 2024, which could indicate potential facade maintenance concerns.
