3 West 103rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

The 5-story Old Law Tenement building at 3 West 103rd Street, owned by Steven Croman, has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems throughout 2023-2025, with multiple emergency complaints reported for both apartment-specific and entire-building outages. Most recently, there is an open complaint regarding refrigerator issues as of April 2025.

The building has undergone several inspections and repairs, with notable violations recorded in Apartment 1RE during 2024, including problems with water leaks, mold, and paint conditions affecting both the bathroom and kitchen areas. Housing Maintenance Code violations were issued in 2024, requiring repairs to address water leaks, mold, defective plastered surfaces, and hardwood floor issues. The property has maintained an active bedbug monitoring program from 2019 to 2024, with no reported infestations or required eradications during this period, suggesting effective pest management.

Rodent inspections show a pattern of rat activity in 2022-2023, with the most recent July 2024 inspection resulting in a passing grade, indicating possible improvement in pest control measures. The building's maintenance history shows periodic responsiveness to violations, with most being certified as corrected, though some issues—particularly those related to heat and water systems—appear to have recurring nature. The building's age (built in 1910) and status as an Old Law Tenement are consistent with its classification in NYC's housing system.
