202 West 98th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025
202 West 98th Street is a 5-story, 20-unit residential building constructed in 1925 on the Upper West Side, currently owned by Avi Stern. The property has experienced persistent heating and hot water issues throughout 2024, with nine documented complaints and emergency reports between April and December 2024, affecting the entire building. Recent inspections in March 2024 revealed heating system access issues, which were subsequently addressed by April 2024.
The building has undergone multiple rodent control interventions in 2023-2024, with several inspections indicating rat activity and bait application between November 2023 and July 2024. Additional maintenance history shows the building has faced various challenges, including a slow water leak complaint in April 2024 that did not result in any violations. The Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2023-2024 indicate problems with heating systems, hot water supply, and door closures in specific apartments (4A and 5A).
In 2023, the building received multiple Department of Buildings complaints regarding various issues, including window air conditioning unit support problems documented in May 2023. Notably, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the building since at least 2020, and all recent bedbug reports for 2023-2024 show zero infested units. While the building's age and history suggest periodic maintenance challenges, the absence of recurring bedbug issues and the prompt attention to some other violations indicate typical operational responses to various building maintenance matters.
