244 West 103rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

244 West 103rd Street is a 5-story, 10-unit residential building constructed in 1900 and currently owned by 242 West 103 Associates Inc. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, with the most recent being a plumbing-related water supply complaint in March 2024. Between late 2018 and early 2019, there were two documented heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building, though reports indicate these issues were resolved promptly.

The property has also faced structural maintenance challenges, as evidenced by two violations issued in May 2024 regarding cracked brick and mortar steps on the 3rd and 4th stories, which were certified as repaired in July 2024. The building has had some pest-related concerns, including a rat sighting in 2019 and documented rat activity in 2022 and August 2024, though the most recent August 2024 compliance inspection passed. Notably, the building has consistently demonstrated good pest management practices, as shown by six consecutive annual bedbug reports from 2018 through 2024 indicating zero infested units, and the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) has required annual bedbug reporting compliance from 2022 onward.

The property's maintenance record shows prompt attention to issues when reported, with the majority of complaints being closed without violations, though there have been some recurring concerns with heating systems and plumbing. The building's inspection history indicates active management of both routine maintenance and emergency situations, with most issues being addressed through proper channels. While there have been recurring plumbing and heating system concerns, the current bedbug-free status and recent rat activity compliance suggest improved pest management. The building has maintained its status as a "Heretofore Converted Class A" property, which typically indicates it has undergone some form of conversion to multiple dwelling status while retaining its original building classification.
