205 West 102nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

205 West 102nd Street is a 5-story, 20-unit residential building located in New York City's Upper West Side, owned by Mark Zweibon and constructed in 1925. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, particularly during 2023, with multiple complaints and violations related to unsanitary conditions, pests, and mold. Between February and September 2023, there were several 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints regarding pests and mold, though inspections generally found no violations.

Notably, there were emergency housing maintenance complaints in 2023 regarding safety concerns including smoke detectors and various maintenance issues including paint/plaster problems. The building's third floor (Apartment 3D) has been the focus of multiple violations, including issues with self-closing doors, kitchen cabinets, and pest infestations, with some violations remaining open since December 2022. Recent inspections have shown ongoing pest control efforts, with rodent inspections in 2024 showing both rat activity and bait application.

The building has had multiple violations related to safety equipment, including smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, with some violations still listed as active. Department of Buildings records show some historical enforcement actions, including a 2025 illegal conversion case and a 2020 complaint about work without a permit, though both were ultimately dismissed or resolved. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2019 through 2024, showing no confirmed infestations. While the building's management has responded to various maintenance issues, recent patterns suggest persistent challenges with building systems and maintenance compliance, particularly in relation to common area upkeep and unit-specific issues in Apartment 3D.
