70 West 108th Street is a 16-unit, 1940s-era Old Law Tenement building located on the Upper West Side, currently owned by Carmen Gelabert. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, most notably a heat and hot water emergency affecting the entire building in February 2024, which was documented by both 311 and Housing Maintenance Code complaints. The building currently has multiple open violations related to safety and maintenance standards, including missing required notices about smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide detection device requirements, and housing information guide availability on the first story.
These violations also include improper placement of the certificate of inspection visits frame, though some violations regarding door self-closing mechanisms have been resolved. The building's recent health and safety record shows a mix of compliance and violations. Recent inspections in 2024 recorded a failed rodent inspection in July 2023, though subsequent inspections passed.
The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene documented violations related to unsanitary pigeon conditions in July 2023, with follow-up inspections scheduled. However, the building has maintained a consistent record of no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years, which is noteworthy. The property has experienced recurring inspection issues since 2017, with most rodent inspections passing, indicating generally acceptable pest control conditions.
