175 East 105th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029

175 East 105th Street is a 5-story, 13-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by VP 66 LLC. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with five documented complaints about these systems since 2021, including a recent emergency complaint in December 2024 that was closed after the issues were reported to be corrected.

Other notable maintenance concerns include electrical problems (October 2024), ceiling issues (October 2024), and various infrastructure problems such as stairway conditions (2022), plumbing (2021), and multiple instances of paint/plaster repairs needed (2024, 2021). The building had several serious violations in 2021, including issues with heat/hot water systems, mold conditions, bathroom maintenance, and access to heating systems, though these were subsequently corrected and closed. The building's rodent inspection history shows some concerning patterns, with reports of rat activity in November 2023, May 2024, and most recently inspected in June 2025 where it passed.

Bedbug reporting records from 2019 through 2025 indicate no infestations have been reported in any unit during this period. Two complaints were filed with the Department of Buildings - one regarding work without a permit (2021) and another about illegal hotel rooms (2020), neither resulting in violations. The building has regularly filed its required bedbug reports, consistently showing zero infested units, and passed recent rodent inspections, though there have been recurring issues requiring attention to basic building systems and infrastructure maintenance over the past few years.
