318 West 106th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

318 West 106th Street is a 5-story, 19-unit residential building constructed in 1901 and currently owned by Susan Rosato. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with three emergency complaints in late 2024 (December 12 and 18) when the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access to inspect.

Additional maintenance concerns include a slow water leak reported in early 2023 (resolved by June 2023), plumbing issues in 2021, and multiple rodent-related complaints between 2020-2024, though recent rodent inspections in 2024, 2023, and 2022 passed without violations. A series of safety violations were documented in April 2022, primarily affecting doors and self-closing mechanisms in apartments 4RE, 5FE, and 5RW, as well as missing newel post caps on stairways, though many of these issues were closed following repairs.

The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug management, with reports from 2019-2025 showing zero infested units in all annual filings. Recent inspections from 2024-2025 have generally shown compliance with health and safety requirements, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in 2020, and earlier reports of unsanitary conditions related to pests in late 2020-2021. The property has experienced periodic safety and maintenance issues typical of older buildings, including heating system problems, plumbing concerns, and the need for various repairs, but has generally addressed violations once identified, as evidenced by the resolution of many housing maintenance code violations and complaints.
