305 West 106th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

The five-story, five-unit residential building at 305 West 106th Street in the Upper West Side, owned by Craig Bunting, has experienced several noteworthy issues over the past few years. Most recently, in October 2024, there was a heat and hot water emergency affecting the entire building, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. Prior to that, there were concerns about rodent infestations, with a July 2024 rodent sighting reported and the case redirected due to previous complaints about the same location.

In December 2023, there was a pest-related unsanitary condition complaint, but again, inspectors were unable to access the building for verification. The building's history shows some significant incidents in 2020, including violations related to an unpermitted roof garden deck that was found to have inadequate guardrails, resulting in two Environmental Control Board violations totaling $3,750 in penalties. The department filed complaints regarding work conducted without proper permits in occupied multiple dwelling.

More recently, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations in the past three years (2022-2025). Regular rodent inspections from 2017 to 2024 show mostly passing results, with only one instance of rat activity reported in February 2017. The property has consistently filed its annual bedbug reports in accordance with Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) rules, demonstrating compliance with pest control regulations.
