110 West 109th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

110 West 109th Street is a five-story, 19-unit old law tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, built in 1900 and currently owned by Rick Baez. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, most notably an unresolved mouse infestation in apartment 2C, reported in January 2018, which remains as an open violation. In August 2022, there was a complaint regarding a refrigerator issue, which was eventually resolved by April 2023.

The building has been subject to consistent rodent inspections, passing all but two initial inspections in 2016 (January and November) where it failed for "Other Reasons". While there has been one documented instance of a bedbug infestation in 2019 affecting one unit, subsequent annual reports from 2020-2024 show no infestations, suggesting effective eradication. The property has maintained a relatively clean record of rodent inspections in recent years, with all inspections from 2017 through 2024 passing, with the most recent being in July 2024.

The building's management has demonstrated some responsiveness to maintenance issues, as evidenced by the resolution of the 2022 refrigerator complaint. However, the persistent rodent violation from 2018 and the 2024 bedbug infestation period (despite reporting no affected units) indicate ongoing challenges with maintaining perfect pest control. The building's age and history of various maintenance issues highlight the typical challenges faced by older tenement buildings in New York City, though recent inspection results suggest some improvements in management practices.
