211 West 107th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

211 West 107th Street is a 5-story, 11-unit Old Law Tenement building owned by Marsha Kolker, constructed in 1920 and located in Manhattan's Upper West Side. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most significant recent complaints occurring in July 2024, including both electrical problems (no lighting and wiring issues, with violations issued) and unsanitary mold conditions. The building has faced multiple challenges with unit 4W, which has open violations as of July 2024 related to electrical fixtures, heating elements, and lingering maintenance requirements.

Earlier issues in 2022 included rodent problems, water leaks, and various paint/plaster concerns affecting both walls and ceilings, with multiple violations documented during inspections. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2019 through 2025, showing no infested units in recent filings. While recent rodent inspections in 2023-2025 have consistently passed, there were notable infestations in 2022 that required multiple bait applications.

The Department of Buildings records show two permits issued in late 2019 and early 2020 for emergency work, though specific details of these permitted repairs are not provided in the available data. Recent documentation suggests some improvement in overall building conditions, as evidenced by recent rodent inspection passes and the absence of bedbug infestations in multiple recent reports. However, the presence of open violations as of mid-2024 related to electrical systems and ongoing maintenance issues in unit 4W indicate that certain building systems and maintenance protocols continue to require attention. The building's complaint history demonstrates a pattern of responding to maintenance issues through the 311 system, with varying results in terms of violation issuance and resolution.
