8 West 103rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10025
8 West 103rd Street is a 5-story, 15-unit Old Law Tenement building located in New York City's Upper West Side neighborhood, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Robin Baez. The building has experienced persistent maintenance issues over the past several years, particularly in 2021-2022 when multiple complaints documented problems with water leaks (both heavy and slow), pest infestations, and flooring conditions. More recent concerns include heating system reliability, with at least one heat/hot water emergency complaint in 2024, though inspections did not find violations in 2024 rat sightings under the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.
The building's violations history reveals several significant safety concerns that have been addressed, including the installation of a key-operated lock on a fire escape window in Apartment 4R (2023), household items obstructing fire escape egress (2023), and self-closing door issues (2023-2024). The property underwent multiple rodent inspections in 2024, with varying results including rat activity, though the most recent inspections in 2024 did pass. The building's maintenance record shows attention to various internal issues, including multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations related to ceiling repairs, window functions, and excessive storage concerns in Apartment 1F. The Department of Buildings' records from 2020 indicate some boiler-related issues that were resolved through Oath Violations.
While the property management has generally addressed the cited violations, access issues during inspections have occasionally hindered thorough evaluations of certain complaints. The most recent bedbug reports for 2023-2024 show minimal infestation activity, with only one unit affected and subsequently treated. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic systems and safety features, though many violations have been corrected through official inspections and orders. The property has undergone regular inspections for both rodent activity and other health-related concerns, indicating active monitoring of these issues by city agencies.
