113 West 96th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

113 West 96th Street is a 5-story, 10-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1915, currently owned by Sara Coles. The property has experienced recurring plumbing issues, with three emergency plumbing complaints (two regarding toilets and one about a bathtub/shower) reported in January 2025 that could not be inspected due to lack of access. In late 2023, multiple complaints were filed regarding various maintenance issues including floor problems, pest infestations, and plumbing concerns, resulting in some violations being issued, particularly affecting apartment 5 on the 3rd floor.

This unit has multiple open violations related to floor repairs, missing eschutcheon plate, and pest infestation, while other violations exist regarding floor repairs in different rooms and a public hall door issue. The building's maintenance history shows a range of issues and inspections over the years, including emergency complaints about heat and hot water in 2022. Notably, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections conducted annually from 2015 through 2024, and there have been no reported bedbug infestations or occurrences in the past six reporting periods (2019-2025).

While there were some gas-related complaints in 2019, inspections found no violations. More recent work permitted through the Department of Buildings includes plumbing and electrical work in 2018 and 2019, though the current open violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's age and classified status as an Old Law Tenement indicate it is subject to specific housing maintenance regulations, which the current violation statuses suggest may require continued attention.
