68 West 108th Street is a 5-story, 10-unit New Law tenement building in the Upper West Side, built in 1923 and currently owned by Robin Baez. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant concerns revolving around water-related problems and unsanitary conditions. In 2025 alone, there were multiple reports of mold (April and March), and water leaks (February), while in 2024, similar issues were reported including slow leaks and pest problems. A notable set of violations was issued in May 2024 for apartment 4B, including mold issues, problems with bathroom fixtures, and broken tiles in both the bathroom and kitchen, though some violations were subsequently closed. The building has maintained a regular rodent inspection record, passing multiple inspections in 2022, 2023, and 2024, with only two inspections in 2017 showing rat activity.
The property has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements over the past several years, showing no infestation cases since 2018. Recent inspections by the Department of Health (2023) and Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) have found varying degrees of compliance, with some inspections being unable to complete due to access issues. The building has also had its share of other maintenance issues, including a 2021 violation regarding kitchen gas supply in apartment 3B, though most violations have been addressed following inspection requirements. While some historical data shows past pest issues in 2023, 2024, and 2025, the most recent reports indicate these conditions have been addressed or closed.
