306 West 100th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

306 West 100th Street is an 8-story, 32-unit residential tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, built in 1910 and currently owned by Laurence Klaiman. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past few years, with the most concerning being a heat and hot water outage in March 2021 that required intervention from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development. More recently, in October 2022, there were plumbing maintenance issues documented, though these were resolved by April 2023.

The building has faced multiple Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations related to building maintenance, including unresolved facade maintenance issues as of 2021 involving step cracks at the chimney and various open mortar joints, for which the owners were penalized $3,125. Earlier violations from 2020-2021 documented similar facade problems and a failure to repair conditions in a timely manner. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of facade and exterior issues, though there have been no reported bedbug infestations since 2019, as documented in annual filings.

The property has consistently passed rodent inspections from 2014 to 2024, indicating good pest management practices. Multiple permits for exterior work have been issued between 2019 and 2022, suggesting ongoing maintenance efforts. The building's violation records also show instances of improper gas certification procedures in 2022, resulting in a $2,500 penalty for a contracting company, though this violation was ultimately resolved. While the building has had its share of maintenance challenges, recent records indicate improvements, with no new bedbug cases reported in the past four years and consistent compliance with rodent control requirements.
