216 West 104th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

216 West 104th Street is a 5-story, 10-unit Old Law Tenement building located in the Upper West Side and built in 1920, currently owned by Refik Kosovrasti. The building has experienced significant heat and hot water service issues throughout 2025, with multiple tenant complaints filed between March and April 2025, though HPD has consistently been unable to obtain access for inspections.

The property has an active Class C violation as of February 2024 related to self-closing doors at the public hall entrance on the first floor, and a prior Class B violation from September 2023 regarding water damage and maintenance issues in apartment 1C's bathroom. Past enforcement actions (2020-2022) include an ECB violation from April 2022 for unauthorized electrical and plumbing work in the basement, with a $2,500 penalty that has been resolved, and a 2020 violation regarding unauthorized occupancy of the cellar level previously used as a real estate office.

The building's maintenance history shows recurring issues with door functionality across multiple apartments (1C, 2C, 2D, 3C) between 2022-2024, and safety concerns related to smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in 2022. While the bedbug reports over the past five reporting periods indicate no infestations, the property has experienced periodic rodent activity, with baiting operations conducted in 2022 and 2023. The building has also faced challenges with access during inspections, as evidenced by multiple "Inspector Unable To Gain Access" dispositions on various complaints between 2021-2023.
