255 West 93rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

The six-story, 10-unit building at 255 West 93rd Street, owned by Zacarias Vazquez and constructed in 1897, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years, particularly throughout 2024. The property has faced multiple complaints related to fire escape safety inspections, indicating ongoing concerns about this critical emergency exit system, though no violations were ultimately issued.

Between March and September 2024, there were four separate instances of heat and hot water complaints, with some inspections revealing access issues that prevented proper evaluation of the conditions. The building also experienced ventilation system violations in May 2024, and water supply plumbing issues were reported in March 2024. Apartment 3B has been the focus of multiple maintenance inspections and violations, with issues ranging from ventilation system problems and mold conditions to water leaks, broken tiles, and various plaster and paint deficiencies documented between late 2023 and mid-2024.

These violations, classified as both A and B levels, were certified as corrected by July 2024. The building has maintained an active rodent control program, with regular inspections and bait applications recorded throughout 2023 and 2024, though some initial inspections in early 2024 noted rat activity. On the pest front, bedbug reports for the building have consistently shown zero infestation cases from 2019 through the present, suggesting effective pest management protocols are in place for this particular issue.
