314 West 105th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

314 West 105th Street, a 5-story, 15-unit apartment building constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Anthony Magnone, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been two heat and hot water emergencies in 2025 and 2024 that could not be investigated due to lack of access, and one similar incident in January 2024. The building has also faced electrical problems, as evidenced by a lighting violation issued in May 2024 regarding a defective fixture in the fifth-story public hall, which remains open as of the latest records.

Water-related issues were documented in late 2022, including heavy flow leaks affecting walls and ceilings, though these complaints were closed without inspections. The building's management has maintained up-to-date bedbug reporting, showing no infestations from 2019 to 2022, though there was a January 2024 violation issued for failure to file the annual report. The property has faced rodent control challenges, with inspections in 2022 showing rat activity and three failed inspections between March and April 2022, though recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 have passed.

Three emergency complaints related to wall and ceiling paint issues were filed in November 2022, along with a November 2022 rodent complaint that wasn't inspected. Security-related matters have been addressed, including a door violation in May 2024 where no violations were found, and a January 2024 violation for a defective vestibule door latch that has since been closed. The building also experienced a smoking violation in February 2021, which was addressed. While many past violations have been resolved, the current open violations related to lighting and bedbug reporting requirements, along with the recurring heat and hot water issues, warrant attention.
