314 East 106th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029
314 East 106th Street is a 6-story, 28-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Steven Croman. The property has experienced persistent maintenance issues over recent years, with particularly concerning patterns emerging in 2024-2025. Multiple complaints and violations have been documented regarding plumbing issues, including water leaks and sink problems, which have been classified as both emergency and non-emergency situations. The building has faced recurring pest problems, with three separate unsanitary condition complaints related to pests in May 2025 alone.
Multiple housing maintenance code violations were issued in December 2024, including problems with mold, peeling paint, and plumbing fixtures in Apartment 8, as well as issues with a defective window in Apartment 17 and a door problem in Apartment 23. The building has a documented history of bedbug infestations, with the most recent incidents reported in 2024 showing at least one unit affected. Rodent activity has also been a significant concern, with consistent evidence of rat activity throughout 2024-2025, though an inspection in June 2025 showed passing results. The building's violation history includes active Environmental Control Board violations from 2018 related to proposed balcony construction that was determined to be contrary to zoning regulations, with associated penalties of $2,500.
More recently, in 2023, there was a violation issued for failing to file the required 2022 external low-pressure inspection documentation. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development has conducted numerous inspections in response to resident complaints between 2024 and 2025, though in several cases inspectors were unable to complete their evaluations. While many of the complaints were closed without violations being issued, the frequency and nature of the complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges within the building. The property has also shown periodic issues with its heating system and hot water supply, as evidenced by various complaints and violations regarding temperature control.
