233 West 109th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025
This six-story, 25-unit New Law Tenement building located at 233 West 109th Street in the Upper West Side and built in 1900 is currently facing several pressing maintenance issues under ownership of Joshua Gotlib. The building has experienced recurring rodent problems throughout 2025, with multiple inspections confirming rat activity and the application of bait. The most recent inspections in June 2025 noted active rodent presence, despite bait application attempts.
There are also significant ongoing maintenance issues, with multiple open complaints as of June 2025 including unsanitary conditions (mold and pests), door problems, flooring concerns, and issues with the building's bell/buzzer/intercom system. The building has a documented history of heat and hot water problems in February 2025, with multiple complaints from different dates indicating access issues during HPD inspections. The property shows some improvement in certain areas, as there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years, with all previous filings showing zero infested units.
A recent open complaint regarding illegal conversion was filed in June 2025 but could not be accessed by inspectors. The building underwent several inspections in 2024, revealing various violations in Apartment 4A including missing smoke detectors, broken door knobs, and evidence of cockroach infestation, though these appear to have been addressed based on certification dates from November 2024. The property's heating system was notably problematic in February 2025, with multiple heat and hot water complaints being filed and inspectors unable to gain access for verification, though one incident was confirmed to have been resolved upon inspection.
