19 West 106th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

19 West 106th Street is a 5-story, 16-unit residential building constructed in 1920, currently owned by 13-19 Duke Ellington Blvd Hdfc and classified as an Old Law Tenement. The building has experienced consistent issues with heat and hot water systems, most recently evidenced by a complaint in January 2025 that HPD was unable to inspect due to access issues.

There are also ongoing concerns regarding bedbug reporting compliance, with open violations from 2022 through 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by the Housing Maintenance Code. A boiler-related complaint was filed in December 2023, though no violations were found upon inspection. The building's maintenance history shows significant attention to rodent control, with regular inspections from 2017 through 2024 showing consistently passed inspections, though there were periods in 2017 requiring bait application due to rat activity.

The property seems to maintain compliance with rodent control requirements, as evidenced by passing multiple inspections in recent years. The bedbug infestation period from 2019-2020 reported zero infested units, but the lack of recent filings raises questions about current conditions. While the building has maintained compliance with various housing codes, the persistent issues with heat and bedbug reporting requirements suggest areas requiring monitoring and potential follow-up.
