213 West 105th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

213 West 105th Street is a 5-story, 32-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Ittai Kidron. The building has experienced several concerning issues over the past few years, most notably a recent indoor air quality complaint in April 2023 involving chemical vapors, and multiple instances of mold-related complaints in June 2022 that required intervention from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development. The property has maintained regular rodent inspections, all passing since 2019, though there was a rat sighting reported in September 2022.

Multiple violations have been recorded, including a 2018 citation for failure to maintain a retaining wall that had cracked, and a 2022 violation for a defective self-closing door in apartment 2C. The building's bedbug reporting history shows no infestations in the past three annual reporting periods, with only one documented case in 2019 which was successfully eradicated. The property has demonstrated compliance with periodic rodent inspections, passing all inspections between 2019 and 2025, though bait was applied in 2022.

There are two active violations on record: one from December 2022 regarding the failure to display an energy efficiency score, and another from 2019 related to certification correction for an immediately hazardous violation. Regular permits have been issued for various maintenance work, with several plumbing and electrical permits filed between 2018 and 2020. While the building has had its share of maintenance issues requiring attention, recent bedbug reports and rodent inspections suggest improved management of these concerns, though the persistent mold and air quality issues indicate ongoing challenges with building maintenance.
