258 West 107th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

258 West 107th Street is a 10-story, 47-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1925, currently owned by Jesus Ferrera. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concern being ongoing water leak problems in apartment 9A as of June 2024, for which violations have been issued. In 2023-2024, there were multiple maintenance requests involving various housing quality issues, including pest infestations, plumbing problems (sink and shower), and interior maintenance needs such as wall repairs and cabinet issues.

The building has also faced several safety-related concerns, including fire escape inspections and missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in 6C (which were subsequently addressed). The property has an active façade-related violation from December 2024 regarding safety measures not being maintained for documented unsafe conditions. Recent elevator issues were documented in 2023, and the building has undergone multiple rodent inspections between 2019 and 2025, generally passing, though there was one documented instance of rat activity in July 2021.

While the building has consistently reported zero bedbug infestations in its annual filings since 2018, there have been persistent maintenance challenges requiring multiple Department of Buildings inspections and Housing Preservation and Development interventions. The most recent complaints and violations suggest ongoing concerns with water damage and general building maintenance, though many earlier violations from 2022-2023 have been resolved through inspections and necessary repairs. The property has shown some responsiveness to maintain housing standards, as evidenced by closed violations and maintenance requests, though recent water-related issues indicate persistent building system challenges.
