4 West 105th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025
The 6-story New Law Tenement building at 4 West 105th Street, owned by Kim Whitener, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, most notably in 2025, when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding heat/hot water and water supply problems affecting the entire building. The building, constructed in 1900, has a history of plumbing and heating system challenges, with similar complaints recorded in previous years, including a water leak, radiator issues, and heat problems, though many of these inspections found no violations.
Recent Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints from June 2025 regarding work without permits and building stability concerns were marked as "Inspector Unable To Gain Access," though there are active violations related to failure to file an inspection in 2019 and structural concerns about sloping floors and cracks observed in a 2022 inspection of apartment 4D. The property's maintenance history reveals recurring issues with windows, water systems, and interior conditions, including a 2025 mold complaint that, while investigated, was determined not to violate HPD housing laws. Previous years have shown various concerns including door/window problems, floor issues, and construction-related disturbances.
The building has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no infestations reported since 2022 except for one case in 2020-2021 that was promptly addressed. While many complaints and violations have been investigated and closed without finding significant code violations, the pattern of recurring plumbing and heating issues, particularly the recent emergency complaints in 2025, suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges in this 125-year-old building. The property has also experienced work-related complaints, with several 'Work Without a Permit' investigations between 2022-2025, though most inspections found no violations or resulted in Oath Violations being served.
