313 West 105th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

The six-story, 15-unit building at 313 West 105th Street, owned by Zacarias Vazquez, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past several years. The most recent incidents include a pest-related complaint in August 2024 that HPD could not inspect, and multiple heat/hot water complaints in January 2024 regarding the entire building and cooking gas issues, all of which were closed without inspection access.

Throughout 2022, there were several documented instances of heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building, though these were reportedly resolved between inspections. The building has also faced infrastructure challenges, including a plumbing water supply complaint in March 2022 that was inspected with no violations found. The property has maintained a generally stable environment regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations in any unit since 2019, as evidenced by annual reporting showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units.

Recent building maintenance improvements were completed in early 2024, including installation of proper street numbering and adequate entrance lighting, both of which had been previously noted as violations. The building's rodent inspection history shows a mix of both problems and successful compliance, with rat activity noted in 2022 and 2020, though recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 have passed. Two permits for exterior work (EW) were issued in 2019 and 2020, suggesting some building maintenance activity during that period.
