54 West 106th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

54 West 106th Street is a 5-story, 20-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Daniel Rohlman. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, particularly during 2021-2022, with multiple emergency complaints filed through HPD between February 2021 and April 2022, though most complaints were ultimately resolved, often through tenant verification of restored services. In 2021, significant maintenance issues were documented in Apartment 5C, including problems with carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, various structural defects, and an unsanitary conditions violation related to pest infestations.

These issues led to multiple violations being issued during an October 2021 inspection, though records indicate these were certified as corrected by December 2021. The building's more recent history shows improvements in both maintenance and pest control. As of December 2024, according to the Bedbug Reporting System, there have been no reported infestations in the past three reporting periods (2022-2025), with the last documented infestation in 2020.

Rodent inspections have consistently passed since 2015, with the most recent inspections in 2025 continuing this trend. The building's recent maintenance record shows fewer emergency complaints, though there were still some access-related issues in 2021-2022 inspections, primarily regarding heating system verification. While the building's age and history of heating issues suggest some infrastructure challenges, the recent rodent control success and absence of bedbug infestations since 2020 indicate improved pest management. The property has maintained active compliance with inspection requirements, regularly passing rodent inspections and submitting bedbug reports as required.
