258 West 91st Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

The five-story, seven-unit building at 258 West 91st Street, owned by Rachel Goldberg and constructed in 1897, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in early 2025, there were complaints about lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building, with HPD unable to gain access for inspection. The building has also faced ongoing rodent issues, with multiple inspections in 2025 showing rat activity and bait applications between February and May 2025.

December 2024 brought violations related to an electric/gas range in Apartment 2A, while the building was recently inspected for various maintenance issues including self-closing door problems, defective caulking around bathroom fixtures, and unauthorized alterations to the kitchenette ceiling in Apartment 2A. Historical records show various maintenance issues from 2020-2021, including problems with windows, doors, walls, and heating systems, though most of these violations were eventually closed. The building's recent history shows some positive trends, particularly regarding pest management, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past three years (2021-2024).

The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene investigated a drinking water complaint in December 2023 and found no health code violations. While many historical maintenance issues have been resolved, the building has experienced recurring problems with both heat/hot water and rodent activity in recent years. The most current open violation as of late 2023 relates to self-closing door issues, though this is expected to be addressed given past compliance history. The building has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance, with zero infestations documented throughout multiple reporting periods.
