246 West 103rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

246 West 103rd Street is a 14-story, 78-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, owned by Charles Wall and constructed in 1917. The building has experienced consistent issues with heating and hot water systems in early 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed between January 16 and January 27, all of which were closed by HPD inspections, though some were originally filed as apartment-only complaints.

Prior to these incidents, the building successfully underwent multiple rodent inspections in 2023-2024, passing three inspections and showing effective control of rodent activity with multiple bait applications throughout 2023. The building's maintenance history shows generally responsive management, with documented elevator system violations in 2018-2020 that were resolved, and an incident involving suspended scaffolds in 2019 that resulted in no violations being found upon inspection.

Importantly, the building has maintained an excellent record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual reports from 2019 through 2025 showing zero infested units or eradicated units. Recent permits from 2018-2020 indicate ongoing maintenance and system improvements, though specific details on the nature of these work permits are not provided in the records. The property has demonstrated compliance with various building safety and health regulations, with the most recent Department of Health rodent inspections in late 2024 showing a "Passed" status, suggesting effective pest management practices are in place.
