211 West 108th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025
Located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, 211 West 108th Street is a 5-story, 21-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1925, currently owned by Selwyn Cruickshank. The building has recently experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water availability, with three separate emergency complaints filed between January and February 2025, all of which were eventually resolved according to HPD records. This pattern of heating system challenges appears to continue a longer-standing trend, as similar complaints were recorded in 2020 and January 2023, suggesting ongoing infrastructure maintenance concerns.
The building's history shows periodic pest management challenges, particularly regarding rodent activity. Recent inspections from 2024-2025 show improved compliance, with the most recent inspection in March 2025 passing, indicating positive progress in pest control measures. Earlier records from 2022-2023 show multiple instances of rat activity, with at least two violations noted in 2022. Bedbug reports from 2019-2024 show varying infestations, with the most recent three consecutive filings (2022-2024) reporting zero infested units.
Historical violations from the 1990s included various safety and maintenance issues, such as moisture problems, defective smoke detectors, and kitchen cabinet concerns in apartment 41, though all these violations were eventually closed. A construction-related Stop Work Order was briefly issued and subsequently rescinded in September 2022. The building's recent bedbug and rodent inspection records (2024-2025) suggest improved management of pest control issues, with no recent bedbug infestations reported and passing rodent inspections. While the heat and hot water issues observed in 2025 indicate ongoing building system challenges, the prompt responses and resolutions through HPD channels demonstrate some level of responsive management to maintenance concerns.
