288 West 92nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

The six-story old law tenement at 288 West 92nd Street in the Upper West Side, built in 1899 and containing 30 units, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety events over recent years. Most concerning was a building-wide heat and hot water outage in November 2018, though these services were reportedly restored quickly. In 2020, the property faced multiple issues, including a broken window guard (which was inspected without violations), a crane-related complaint that required inspection but found no violations, and a COVID-19 Executive Order complaint that was also inspected without violations.

The building's elevator system has been a recurring concern, with violations documented in late 2019 and 2020 related to inspection/reporting failures and missing door lock monitoring equipment, though these issues were ultimately resolved or dismissed. The building's maintenance record shows systematic attention to pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years (2020-2024). Rodent inspections have consistently passed since 2018, indicating effective ongoing management of common pest issues.

The property has also maintained regulatory compliance with regular safety inspections, as evidenced by recent rodent inspection passes in 2025, 2024, 2023, and multiple passes in previous years. While there have been several violations and safety complaints over the years, particularly relating to the elevator system and heating infrastructure, recent bedbug and rodent control records suggest improved overall building maintenance practices. The building's owner, Stephen Wilson, appears to have addressed most violations through appropriate channels, with several being dismissed and others marked as resolved.
