58 West 109th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

The 58 West 109th Street building, owned by Robin Baez, is a 7-story, 7-unit residential building constructed in 2000 on Manhattan's Upper West Side. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over its history, with the most recent concerns centered around electrical systems, as evidenced by an open HPD complaint from May 2025 regarding lighting issues.

Earlier this year, in January 2025, there was an emergency heat/hot water complaint affecting the entire building, though access issues prevented HPD from conducting an inspection. The building underwent a period of multiple violations in 2018, including issues with flooring, walls, and plumbing in various units, particularly in Apartment 3, which had documented violations for floor damage, door issues, and an inoperable smoke detector. There was also a notable incident in 2018 involving problems with paint/plaster on walls and ceilings in multiple areas, though most of these violations were subsequently closed.

The building's systems have generally passed regular inspections, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past eight years (2018-2025), and rodent inspections conducted regularly from 2016 through 2024 have all resulted in passing grades. An elevator complaint from October 2021 regarding lack of alternate service was investigated and found to warrant no violation. While the building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over its history, particularly in 2018, recent years (2022-2025) show improved conditions with no major systemic problems reported, though the recent electrical issues in 2025 suggest some ongoing maintenance requirements remain.
