237 West 105th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

The 2-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building at 237 West 105th Street in the Upper West Side, built in 1926 and currently owned by Buhm Jung Roe, has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. Most concerning is the building's current status as having open violations related to annual bedbug reporting requirements dating back to 2022, and multiple open violations from late 2021 in Apartment 2 involving water leaks, ceiling damage, pest infestations, and safety equipment deficiencies including non-functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

While the building has generally passed rodent inspections since 2019, there was a recent rodent sighting in August 2023, though the property passed a subsequent inspection with only minor violations noted. The building's history includes two significant inspection failures in 2025 regarding Certificate of Occupancy compliance, and past violations related to failure to file annual boiler and low-pressure inspection reports, though these were ultimately dismissed.

In late 2021, the property experienced various maintenance issues including water leaks and plaster damage, which led to multiple violations being issued. Historical records show previous complaints about illegal conversion and construction issues in 2018, though no violations were found at the time of inspection. The building has had several permit issuances between 2018 and 2019, possibly indicating ongoing maintenance or upgrade work.
