106 West 109th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

106 West 109th Street is a 19-unit, 5-story Old Law Tenement building located in the Upper West Side, owned by Parkway HDFC and constructed in 1900. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, particularly notable between May 2019-2020, when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding both apartment-specific and building-wide problems.

There were also three door-related complaints in August 2022, one of which resulted in an open Class B violation regarding a defective door lock in Apartment 1A, though other door/wind-related complaints during this period did not result in violations. Apartment 1A has several outstanding violations from 2021, including issues with plastered surfaces, water leaks, and a broken entrance lock, though some previous violations from 2021 regarding kitchen cabinet repairs were closed as of May 2021. The building has demonstrated generally strong maintenance regarding pest control, with no documented bedbug infestations over the past seven years (2018-2024) and passed rodent inspections conducted regularly, most recently in July 2024.

The property has shown compliance with various city inspections, generally passing rodent inspections, though there were occasional complaints about rodent sightings in 2020 and 2022 that did not result in violations. Historical complaints include a reported building shake/vibration in January 2019, though this was referred to Housing Preservation and Development and closed without documented violations. The building appears to be actively managed in terms of health and safety standards, as evidenced by regular rodent inspections showing consistent passing results, though the presence of some open violations in Apartment 1A suggests there are still outstanding maintenance issues to be addressed.
