18 West 108th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

18 West 108th Street is a 6-story, 24-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Robert Ezrapour. The building has experienced various maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years, with the most recent Department of Buildings (DOB) violation from April 2025 remaining active due to failure to file the 2022 external low-pressure inspection.

In 2023, there were two significant complaints requiring attention: one regarding the elevator's alternate service and another enforcement work order, which resulted in an Oath violation being served. The building has faced recurring exterior maintenance challenges, including two Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations issued in 2023 and 2019 related to facade maintenance and unauthorized air conditioning installations, with penalties of $625 and $1,250 respectively. The property has a documented history of pest management, with a single unsanitary condition complaint regarding pests in 2021 that was resolved, and no reported bedbug infestations in the past four reporting periods (2021-2024).

While rodent control issues were significant in 2019 requiring multiple bait applications, recent inspections from 2019 through 2025 have consistently passed, indicating improved conditions. The building's maintenance record shows active engagement in addressing violations, as evidenced by the issuance of a permit in May 2019 for exterior work, though there are multiple past violations from 2019 through 2023 that were either dismissed or closed. Importantly, the most recent rodent inspections in January 2025 passed, suggesting current conditions are being maintained appropriately.
