227 West 109th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

The 9-story, 36-unit building at 227 West 109th Street, owned by 229 West 109 Street Realty Corp and constructed in 1912, has experienced several pressing maintenance issues in 2025. Most notably, there is an ongoing series of emergency complaints regarding cooking gas issues, with eight separate reports filed between March and April 2025, all marked as duplicates of a building-wide problem. The building has also faced recurring heat and hot water issues, including a significant outage in April 2025 affecting multiple apartments, though some reports indicate restoration was confirmed.

Additional concerns during 2025 included an elevator service disruption (April 2025), and historical data shows this building has had persistent elevator maintenance problems, with multiple elevator-related complaints documented between 2019-2025. The building's maintenance history reveals various other issues requiring attention. In late 2023, multiple violations were documented in Apartment 82 (8th floor) including water leak repairs, bathroom painting requirements, and multiple repair needs for the kitchen sink, cabinets, and window.

The property has maintained a generally pest-free record, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past three years, though there have been periodic rat activity indications in compliance inspections between 2023-2025. Historical records show facade maintenance issues were noted in 2018, with violations related to cracked masonry and window conditions, though these were resolved. The building's boiler and power systems have also been subjects of complaints, suggesting ongoing challenges with maintaining basic utilities. The property has generally complied with reporting requirements, as evidenced by regular bedbug and rodent inspection filings, though some recent repair issues remain unresolved as of mid-2025.
