134 West 109th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

134 West 109th Street is a 5-story, 20-unit Upper West Side building constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Pinchas Mendlowits. The building has experienced recurring heating issues, with three separate heat and hot water complaints logged in January 2025 (one affecting the entire building and two affecting individual apartments), and one similar complaint in January 2021, all classified as emergencies.

The building's maintenance history shows significant attention to compliance, with all heat-related violations being closed promptly. Regular safety inspections and reporting requirements have mostly been met, though there have been some notable concerns. Two bedbug violation notices were issued in 2022 and 2023 for failure to file annual bedbug reports, though recent filings (2024, 2025) indicate no infestations.

Multiple violations were recorded in 2017 related to building safety and maintenance, including requirements for proper signage, fire safety materials, and general maintenance of common areas, all of which have been certified as corrected. Recent rodent inspections show consistent passing results, with the last inspection in July 2024 passing, though there was one instance of "Rat Activity" noted in November 2017. The building appears to have maintained a generally stable condition over recent years, with no new major violations or infestations reported in the most recent bedbug filings.
