Augrented Insights
AI summary · updated June 2026

321 West 105th Street is a 5-story, 14-unit residential building located in the Upper West Side, owned by Paul Brusco. The 1901 building has experienced recurring heating system issues over the past few years, with eight documented complaints about no heat or hot water affecting the entire building between late 2021 and late 2022, all of which were eventually resolved but required multiple tenant reports. The most recent service complaint, from January 2023, involved plumbing issues with a sink/basin, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection and subsequently closed the complaint. The building's maintenance record shows consistent attention to pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years (2020-2025), though there was one rat sighting complaint in July 2020. The property has undergone several inspections and passed all recent rodent inspections (2022-2024), indicating effective pest management. A notable historical violation from 1987 regarding a double cylinder key-operated entrance door lock was certified as resolved in May 2023.

The building's permit history shows multiple work authorizations issued between 2018-2019, including electrical and plumbing work, though specific details of the projects were not provided in the available data. The property's heating system issues stand out as the most significant recurring maintenance concern, though recent years (2023-2025) have shown no new heat/hot water complaints. The building's overall condition suggests active management response to maintenance issues, with regular compliance checks, though the frequency of heating system problems in previous years indicates this remains an area of historical concern. The property has maintained a rodent-free status in recent inspections, with the last recorded rat activity occurring in 2020, and has consistently reported zero bedbug infestations in annual reports since 2019.
