311 West 97th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025
311 West 97th Street is a 7-story, 22-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1901, currently managed by 311 West 97 Street Owners Corp. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with four emergency complaints regarding these services in 2025-2022, though some inspections could not be completed due to access issues. Currently, there are multiple open maintenance complaints from January 2025 including problems with flooring, lighting, plumbing, and wall surfaces.
These issues followed a pattern established over several years, as evidenced by previous complaints and inspections. The building underwent a Facade Inspection Safety Program (FISP) Cycle 9B inspection in 2023, receiving an Unsafe Notification and subsequently being cited for failure to file an acceptable amended report, though these violations were later dismissed. Apartment 2E has several open maintenance violations from a 2021 inspection related to flooring, wall surfaces, lighting, and metal painting requirements.
The property has shown adequate rodent control in recent inspections, passing inspections in 2022-2024, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in 2020. Notable safety equipment compliance issues include a 2018 violation for failure to secure public safety regarding the building facade, which resulted in a $2400 penalty. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to various systems, with multiple permit issuances for plumbing and electrical work between 2018-2020, though recent complaints indicate ongoing maintenance challenges. There have been no reported bedbug infestations since 2019, suggesting effective pest management protocols are in place.
