62 West 106th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

62 West 106th Street is a 5-story, 10-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side and owned by David Moore. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout late 2024, with multiple emergency complaints filed between November-December 2024, including several instances where the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access for inspections. The building also faces significant rodent control challenges, with numerous inspections between 2023-2025 indicating rat activity, including failed inspections in December 2023 and January 2025.

The building's maintenance record reveals persistent infrastructure concerns, including three outstanding Class C violations identified in December 2024 related to defective self-closing doors at critical locations (cellar fire door, boiler room, and 1st-story vestibule). Recent Department of Buildings (DOB) activity shows both active and resolved violations concerning the boiler system, including a November 2023 ECB violation for an unregistered Weil McLain LGB-9 steam boiler with multiple safety concerns, and a separate 2021 violation for improper drainage. Importantly, the building's bedbug reporting from 2019-2025 shows no infestation cases during the past six reporting periods, and all bedbug-related concerns have been marked as resolved.

The property has also experienced various other maintenance issues over the past few years, including unsanitary conditions related to garbage/storage and pest management violations. While some issues have been resolved through appropriate inspections and corrections, the recurring nature of heating system problems and rodent activity suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance. Recent permit activity from 2023-2025 indicates regular maintenance and repair work being undertaken at the property, including plumbing and environmental-related permits.
