242 West 104th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025
242 West 104th Street is a 6-story, 24-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1898, currently owned by Omar Padial. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with particularly notable concerns in 2025 including multiple complaints about ceiling paint/plaster and water leaks that inspectors were unable to access for verification.
The property has a documented history of rodent activity, with multiple reports between 2022 and 2024 showing rat sightings and the need for bait application, though recent bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024 indicate no infestations. Significant health and safety violations were recorded in 2019 in Apartment 1RE, including missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and excessively hot water, though these were ultimately corrected. The building's recent history shows several plumbing-related complaints that inspectors were unable to access during their visits in late 2023.
In 2023, there was an active violation regarding the removal of public protection from an unsafe facade without proper approval, with financial penalties imposed. Historical complaints from 2019 included multiple issues with doors/windows, walls, and water supply systems, though many of these were resolved or closed without violation. The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2019, consistently reporting zero infested dwelling units.
