170 East 94th Street, Manhattan, NY 10128

The 42-unit, 6-story residential building at 170 East 94th Street, owned by Stephen Wilson and built in 1928, is currently facing significant maintenance and safety challenges as of January 2025. Recent complaints submitted through 311 indicate serious concerns including non-functioning carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detector issues, heating problems, plumbing deficiencies (including toilet and steam pipe issues), window frame concerns, flooring problems, and mold presence - all categorized as emergencies by the Housing Maintenance Code.

Notably, HPD attempted but was unable to complete inspections related to these complaints, suggesting potential access issues or other barriers to inspection. The building has several active violations requiring attention, including failure to submit required inspection reports for external walls (FISP Cycle 8C) and low-pressure systems, as well as an active complaint regarding illegal/improper vent/exhaust systems entered in May 2025.

While rodent inspections have consistently passed from 2018 through 2025, indicating successful management of pest control, the building's violation history reveals ongoing documentation and compliance challenges. Historical data shows earlier inspection access issues in 2021, and though bedbug reports from 2020-2024 show no infestations, the recent spate of emergency complaints suggests deteriorating building conditions. The property management's responsiveness to recent complaints, as evidenced by closed statuses with "unable to inspect" resolutions, raises concerns about communication and maintenance access protocols.
