303 West 106th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

306 West 106th Street is a 5-story, 12-unit residential building located in the Upper West Side, owned by Giro Desimone and dating back to 1899. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, with four documented complaints between 2020-2023 indicating building-wide outages, though HPD inspections generally found heat and hot water had been restored by the time of their visit.

More recently, in 2024, there were complaints about plumbing (basin/sink) and intercom/buzzer systems, which HPD was unable to inspect due to access issues. The building faced an electrical power outage in September 2023, which HPD investigated but found no violations. A significant maintenance issue was documented in June 2020 when exposed wiring and various boiler system problems were identified, resulting in an environmental violation with a $1,562 penalty, though this was resolved.

The property has maintained an active record of pest control measures, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years (2019-2024) across all units, and recent rodent inspections in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021 have consistently passed, indicating improved pest management since earlier years when rat activity was noted in 2017. The building's infrastructure issues, particularly regarding heating systems and occasional electrical problems, suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, though many complaints have been resolved promptly. The lack of recent bedbug or significant pest problems, combined with passing rodent inspections, indicates successful pest management practices are currently in place.
