142 West 109th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025
The five-story, 13-unit building at 142 West 109th Street in the Upper West Side, owned by Bita Sassouni, has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges since its construction in 1920. Most notably, there have been recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, particularly evident in 2020-2021 when multiple complaints were filed regarding lack of these essential services throughout the entire building, though inspections typically confirmed restoration of service. The most recent heat/hot water complaint was filed in March 2025 for an apartment-only issue, which was promptly addressed.
The building has also faced pest management challenges, particularly with rodents. Multiple rat sightings were reported in 2024 and 2023, with inspections showing "Rat Activity" in 2024, though the most recent July 2024 inspection passed. A significant rodent violation was issued in September 2022 regarding infestation in apartment 3E.
Bedbug management appears to be generally under control, with the most recent filings for 2023-2024 showing no infested units, though there were two reported in 2019 that were eradicated. The building has undergone various inspections and violations related to safety and maintenance, including issues with smoke detectors, self-closing doors, and building registration signage, though many of these violations have been certified as corrected. The property has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance since 2019, with no current infestation issues reported.
