109 West 104th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

109 West 104th Street is a 5-story, 10-unit old law tenement building located in the Upper West Side, owned by Robin Baez and constructed in 1900. The property has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues throughout 2025, with nine documented complaints between January and May 2025, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. While these complaints were generally resolved promptly, they indicate an ongoing maintenance challenge.

The building's most recent inspection in December 2024 revealed multiple issues in apartment 5A, including rodent and cockroach infestations, bathroom mold, and plumbing problems, though some earlier violations related to the hot water system and others from previous years have been closed. Historical records show that the building has consistently demonstrated compliance with annual rodent inspections since 2019, with the most recent inspection in August 2024 passing. Bedbug reports from 2020-2024 show no confirmed infestations during these years, with only one incident in 2019 that was marked as eradicated.

The building's maintenance history reveals multiple infrastructure challenges, including a 2023 violation for locked access to the heating system, a 2019 boiler complaint that was investigated with no violations found, and various repairs required for public areas documented between 2020-2022. The property has maintained regular compliance with housing maintenance code requirements for bedbug and rodent control, though the recent concentration of heating system complaints in 2025 suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges that require monitoring. Violation status shows a mix of open and closed cases as of the most recent inspection, with particular attention needed for the unresolved pest and plumbing issues in apartment 5A.
