255 West 91st Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

The five-story, 10-unit residential building at 255 West 91st Street, built in 1901 and currently owned by Jon Klien, has experienced a variety of maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns occurring in early 2025. As of July 2025, there are multiple open complaints with the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) including four separate slow water leak complaints, a ceiling paint/plaster issue, a sink plumbing problem, and an electrical lighting matter, all dating between January and February 2025.

The building has a documented history of water-related issues, with a particularly significant "heavy flow" water leak complaint from October 2024. In May 2024, multiple violations were issued regarding paint/plaster maintenance in public areas, and a bed bug reporting violation was noted in March 2023, though subsequent inspections show no evidence of infestation. The building's maintenance history shows recurring problems with both water infrastructure and general upkeep.

Between 2019 and 2024, there were various environmental control board violations regarding the decorative cornice maintenance, and rodent inspection results have been mixed, with the most recent inspections in 2025 showing evidence of rat activity. The building has consistently reported zero bed bug infestations in its annual filings since 2019, and while there were violations related to fire safety materials in hallways noted in May 2024, these were subsequently addressed and closed. The property's current open complaints and historical plumbing issues, particularly regarding water leaks, suggest ongoing challenges with building infrastructure maintenance, warranting attention from both management and residents regarding access for necessary repairs and inspections.
