220 West 104th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

220 West 104th Street is a 6-story, 15-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1926, currently owned by Carter Sackman. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant problems occurring in early 2022.

This period saw multiple emergency complaints including water leaks (both heavy flow and damp spots), heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building, and issues with ceiling paint and plaster. Notably, violations were issued during an inspection on February 10, 2022, specifically affecting the PHW apartment on the 6th story, related to roof leaks and defective plastered surfaces in both the first room and bathroom. More recent concerns include rat activity, with inspections in August 2024 showing violations, though the previous two inspections in 2023 and early 2022 had passed.

The building's heat and hot water systems have also shown recurring problems, with complaints in December 2021 and February 2022 regarding complete system failures. However, since the bedbug-reporting requirement was implemented in 2021, the building has consistently reported zero infested units or eradications in its annual submissions, and all past bedbug-related violations appear to have been resolved. Additionally, there is one open violation from 2022 related to ceiling issues in the PHW apartment, though some previous violations were certified as resolved in August 2022.
