307 West 105th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

307 West 105th Street is a 10-unit, 5-story (HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A) residential building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Richard Schwartz. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints filed between 2018 and 2020, affecting either individual apartments or the entire building.

Most notably, four emergency complaints about heat and hot water problems were reported in early 2019 alone (January 31, March 13, March 28, and an apartment-specific issue in January), with the building receiving housing maintenance code violations related to heating system issues in Apartment 3B in February 2019, including defective air valves, vent valves, connection problems, and rotted wood floor issues under a radiator. The building has maintained a generally positive record in other areas, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years (2020-2025), following a single reported incident in late 2017/early 2018 that was addressed.

Regular rodent inspections have been conducted annually since at least 2014, with all inspections passing successfully, indicating effective pest management. Other maintenance issues included three separate complaints about electric/gas range appliances in July 2018, though no violations were issued. While the heat and hot water issues are concerning, it's worth noting that recent years have shown improved conditions, with no repeat complaints about these services since early 2020 and consistent passing rates on rodent inspections.
