259 West 90th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

259 West 90th Street is a five-story, nine-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, owned by Michael Sankari and constructed in 1897. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, most notably with heating and hot water systems, particularly in March-April 2023 when multiple complaints were filed regarding both apartment-specific and building-wide service failures.

These incidents resulted in several violations, including inadequate heat and hot water supply, with specific issues documented in apartment 3F. The property has also faced challenges with rodent activity, as evidenced by multiple 311 complaints and inspection reports, with the most recent concerns documented in 2024-2025 showing rat activity and the application of bait.

The building's safety systems have required attention, with violations recorded in 2024 regarding self-closing doors in apartment 3F that were subsequently certified as corrected. While the building maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance between 2019 and 2024, showing zero infested units in recent filings, it had one historical violation in 2022 for failing to file an annual bedbug report. A notable administrative violation was recorded in late 2019 regarding boiler inspection reporting, though this was dismissed with the payment of a civil penalty.
