203 West 84th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

203 West 84th Street is a 5-story, 10-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Carter Sackman. The property has experienced recurring heating system issues, with three documented complaints about lack of heat and hot water in early 2022 (January, March, and April), resulting in both violations and emergency responses from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). These issues appeared to be partially resolved, though further complaints were filed in October 2022.

The building has also dealt with rodent infestations, with multiple complaints recorded between July 2021 and October 2021, leading to violations being issued in October 2021 for a mouse infestation. While achieving some compliance in later inspections, evidence of ongoing rodent activity was noted in 2022 and 2023 inspections. The building's safety and maintenance record shows various violations requiring attention, including problems with self-closing doors at the building's main entrance documented in October 2022, and a gas supply issue affecting the kitchen range in Apartment 1A in April 2022.

A notable violation from 2022 concerned fire egress, specifically obstructing bars or gates from a window in Apartment 1A. The property underwent a bedbug-free inspection process from 2021 through 2024, with no reported infested units in recent years. An illegal conversion complaint was investigated in 2019 but resulted in no violations being issued. The building's rodent inspection history shows mixed results, with compliance inspections in 2023 and 2024 passing, though initial inspections in 2022 and 2023 indicated rat activity.
