106 West 96th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

106 West 96th Street is a 5-story, 23-unit old-law tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, owned by Joseph Annunziata and constructed in 1900. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with multiple complaints being filed in May 2024 regarding doors, cabinets, and appliances, though most were resolved without violations.

Notably, a cluster of violations was documented in apartment 1D in June 2024, including issues with door self-closing mechanisms, missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and problems with kitchen fixtures. The building's maintenance history shows consistent attention to bedbug management, with no reported infestations in the past five years (2019-2024) according to the official reports.

However, there are active violations from June 2023 related to unfiled external low-pressure inspections, and a March 2025 complaint regarding work without a permit was marked "Inspector Unable To Gain Access." The property has undergone periodic rodent inspections, showing a mix of results: while it passed inspections in 2018, 2019, and 2024, there were instances of rat activity noted in 2017, 2022, and 2023, indicating ongoing pest management challenges. Recent building management appears to be addressing various maintenance issues, as evidenced by the prompt inspection responses to 311 complaints, though most resulted in no violations being found. The building's age and classification suggest typical urban maintenance challenges, though the absence of bedbug issues in recent years is a notable positive aspect of the building's management history.
