208 West 104th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

208 West 104th Street is a 5-story, 11-unit Old Law Tenement building built in 1920 and currently owned by Cynthia Concepcion. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring between late 2021 and 2022. During this period, there were multiple reports of water leaks (including slow leaks and damp spots), unsanitary conditions (including pest infestations and garbage/recycling storage issues), and plumbing problems with the bathtub/shower.

A cooking gas complaint in June 2022 also warranted emergency attention, though no violations were found in any of these cases. The building's management received a Housing Maintenance Code violation in April 2021 regarding the failure to file an annual bedbug report, which has since been resolved. Fortunately, the building has demonstrated recent improvements in pest management, with the most recent bedbug reports (2022-2024) showing zero infestation or re-infestation cases.

Regular rodent inspections in 2018 showed consistent treatment with bait, but recent inspections in 2019, 2022, 2023, and 2024 have all passed without issues, indicating successful long-term pest management. While there was one complaint in July 2021 regarding work contrary to a stop work order, this was investigated and found to have no violations. The building's record shows a pattern of prompt response to maintenance complaints, with HPD inspections generally finding no violations in most cases, though multiple complaints suggest persistent maintenance challenges during the 2021-2022 period. The most recent building activities indicate a focus on maintaining compliance with health and safety regulations, particularly in terms of reporting requirements and pest management.
