132 West 109th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

132 West 109th Street is a 5-story, 20-unit Old Law Tenement building located in New York City's Upper West Side, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Pinchas Mendlowits. The building, which has undergone various inspections and received multiple complaints over recent years, shows a pattern of maintenance challenges particularly related to pest and sanitation issues. Most recently, in December 2023, there were two rodent-related complaints, though one was resolved by referencing earlier complaints.

A notable series of complaints emerged in October 2023 regarding mold and pests, with at least one of the pest-related inspections in 2024 showing no access gained for inspection. The building's history includes past violations and complaints related to bedbug reporting requirements, with current filings indicating no infestations for the periods beginning November 2023 through October 2024, suggesting improved compliance with reporting requirements. Significantly, there was a boiler-related violation in 2021 regarding an unregistered A.O. Smith hot water boiler, which remains active with a balance due of $625.

Between 2020 and 2023, the building maintained a relatively clean record regarding bedbugs, with all reporting periods showing zero cases of infestation or re-infestation. The property has generally passed most rodent inspections, though there was one instance of recorded rat activity in November 2017, and inspections from 2018 through 2024 have typically shown compliance. Historical violations from 2010 included issues with building access to heating systems and unauthorized security modifications in one unit, though these were eventually resolved. The building's management has shown some responsiveness to complaints, as evidenced by closed cases of mold remediation in October 2023, though access issues have been noted in some instances.
