209 West 106th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025
209 West 106th Street is a 16-story New Law tenement building constructed in 1925, containing 76 units and owned by Martin Scharf. This Upper West Side property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past five years, with the most recent building-wide concern being an open Class C violation from May 2024 regarding defective self-closing doors on the 16th story.
The building's maintenance history shows periodic problems with heat and hot water systems, particularly in December 2022 and January 2020, though inspections in both cases found no violations were issued. There have been multiple complaints and inspections regarding rodent issues between 2020 and 2025, with the most recent inspections in January and October 2025 passing as compliant, though there were instances of rat activity noted in March 2024 and May 2022. Significant open violations from July 2019 (still unresolved) specifically concern multiple issues in apartment 17S on the 17th floor, including problems with plaster surfaces, paint uniformity, electrical outlets, and various door repairs.
The building's environmental record shows no bedbug infestations reported in the past seven years (2018-2025) and consistent passing results in all rodent inspections between 2020 and 2025, with only two instances of rat activity noted. Housing Maintenance Code complaints to HPD have addressed various issues including paint and plaster concerns in 2023 and 2022, though inspections generally found no violations. While the building has experienced various maintenance challenges, it's worth noting that many complaints have been closed with no violations found upon inspection, suggesting prompt response to reported issues.
