56 West 106th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

56 West 106th Street is a five-story, 15-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Thomas Rohlman. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly with heating systems, as evidenced by heat and hot water complaints in 2021 and 2019, though in each case, tenants reported that service was restored before inspection completion. The property faced significant pest challenges in early 2021, with multiple emergency complaints between February and March of that year, leading to Housing Maintenance Code violations for a bedbug infestation in apartment 4C.

While bedbug reports from 2020-2024 show no current infestations, the building did experience documented rodent issues, with rodent complaints recorded in 2019 (DOHMH report), and initial inspections in 2024 showing both "Passed" and "Rat Activity" results. The property underwent several construction activities, with permits issued in 2018 and 2020 for exterior work and other improvements, suggesting ongoing maintenance efforts by ownership. The building's recent rodent inspection history between 2017-2024 shows an overall pattern of passing inspections, though some instances of rat activity were noted in 2024.

The property is currently in compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent filings (2022-2024) showing zero infested units or required eradications. Housing violations and service requests indicate active response to resident complaints, though the recurring nature of heat and pest issues suggests historical maintenance challenges. The building's permit history shows regular maintenance work being carried out, with multiple permits issued in 2020 for various repairs and improvements.
