120 West 100th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

The 16-story, 287-unit building at 120 West 100th Street in the Upper West Side, owned by Meyer Chetrit and constructed in 1958, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, from May to June 2025, multiple complaints were filed with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) regarding various problems, including door and window issues, wall and ceiling maintenance, smoke detector concerns, and ventilation system problems. Several of these complaints were classified as emergencies, though inspectors were unable to gain access for inspection in most cases.

The building has an open Housing Maintenance Code violation from September 2024 regarding water leak issues affecting apartments 15D and 17O, and there have been multiple reports of rat activity with bait applied throughout 2025, suggesting ongoing pest control challenges. The property has a documented history of water-related issues, including heavy flow water leaks reported in April 2025 and multiple water leak violations. In 2023-2024, there were significant construction-related concerns, including multiple violations for failing to comply with Tenant Protection Plan requirements, particularly regarding fire safety measures and the absence of fire extinguishers during work periods.

The building has also experienced infrastructure challenges such as elevator issues and safety concerns that led to Oath Violations being served in May 2023. Additionally, there have been recurring incidents of bedbug infestations, with three documented cases between 2022 and 2025, though all were reported as successfully eradicated. The property currently has three active violations regarding energy efficiency display requirements and swarming conditions, and a previous mold issue in Apartment 8O from December 2023 has been noted.
