111 West 106th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

111 West 106th Street is a five-story, 15-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Glory Ann Kerstein. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns centered around its external low-pressure systems, for which violations were issued in June 2023 for failure to file required inspections dating back to 2018-2021, and the building's heating and hot water systems, which had an emergency complaint in December 2019 affecting the entire building.

The property has documented rodent activity, particularly in late 2019, when multiple rat sightings were reported, though subsequent inspections from 2020 onwards have shown passing results, with the most recent inspection in August 2024 passing as well. The building has undergone various plumbing work, some of which was performed without proper permits, as documented in complaints from 2020-2021. Notably, a gas safety violation was issued in June 2021 concerning improper gas flex hose installation in apartment 5R.

The building has maintained a consistent record of submitting bedbug reports with zero infestations reported in recent filings from 2022-2024, indicating effective pest management. While the building experienced multiple permit-related complaints between 2019-2021, most have been resolved, and there have been no reported bedbug infestations since early 2020. The current active violation regarding external low-pressure inspection filings suggests ongoing compliance issues, though it should be noted that most of the historical maintenance concerns appear to have been addressed based on subsequent inspections and resolutions.
