273 West 90th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

This six-story, ten-unit building at 273 West 90th Street, owned by Rose Addino and built in 1901, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. The most pressing concerns have been recurring problems with heat and hot water, particularly notable during winter months, with at least six documented complaints between 2022-2024 affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

The building is currently facing ongoing rodent issues, with multiple inspections and bait applications recorded in 2025, though previous rodent complaints in 2022 and 2023 were resolved through agency referrals. Other significant maintenance concerns include a heavy water leak documented in late 2023, and a mold issue reported in early 2023, both of which were investigated without resulting violations. The building has several open violations as of early 2024, including the failure to file an annual bedbug report and issues with apartment 3E related to smoke detector replacement, door self-closing mechanisms, water leak repairs, and various other maintenance matters.

Previous violations from 2022-2023 have included problems with building heat supply, door self-closing devices, and access to heating system controls. While the building's bedbug reports from 2019-2023 show no documented infestations, recent rodent activity continues to be a significant concern, with multiple instances of rat activity documented in 2025 despite baiting efforts. The building's inspection history shows a mix of compliance (passed inspections) and failures for various reasons, particularly related to pest control measures, with the most recent inspection in May 2025 confirming ongoing rodent activity.
