308 West 105th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

The 5-story, 14-unit building at 308 West 105th Street in the Upper West Side, owned by Jay Silver and built in 1900, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2025, with multiple building-wide complaints filed between April and May of 2025. While most of these complaints were eventually closed after HPD confirmed restoration of services, including three complaints filed on April 28 and another on May 22 that required follow-up inspections. The building's heating system has been a persistent concern, with eight emergency heat/hot water complaints filed in 2025 alone.

The property also faced boiler-related complaints in early 2025, with multiple "Defective/Inoperative" complaints recorded between January and April 2025. The building's maintenance history reveals several concerning issues in individual units, particularly in apartment 3C, which was inspected in December 2024 and found to have multiple violations including a water leak, electrical issues, and missing safety equipment such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Apartment 2A also had significant violations documented in June 2024 related to water leaks and pest control.

Additionally, there have been two egress-related violations recorded, showing a pattern of access and safety concerns. While the building has maintained an active bedbug control program with no reported infestations since 2021, recent rodent activity was documented during inspections in January and February 2025, though previous inspections between 2018 and 2024 generally passed without issue. The building's management has shown responsiveness to many complaints, as evidenced by the closure of multiple HPD violations, though access issues have sometimes complicated inspections and resolutions.
