302 West 109th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

302 West 109th Street is a 10-unit, 5-story residential building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, owned by Burton Kassell and constructed in 1900. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with four documented complaints between 2018 and 2023, though in all instances tenants reported that services were restored before inspectors could verify the problems.

More recent concerns include a lighting outage in early 2023 and various maintenance issues in Apartment 5, including multiple violations for plaster and paint conditions, documented in 2021 inspections. These violations, while initially classified as Class C, were later closed along with other related issues including water damage and lighting fixture problems. The building maintains a record of regular pest control compliance, with no documented bedbug infestations in the past five reporting periods from 2019 to 2024, and a recent rodent inspection in September 2024 passed, following an initial rodent activity report in August 2024.

The property has also undergone several administrative inspections resulting in various violations, including the need for proper posting of building management information and the implementation of annual bedbug reporting procedures, though most administrative violations have been addressed and closed. Two complaints regarding sidewalk conditions were investigated in May 2023 but resulted in no violations being found. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing issues through HPD and DOB inspections, with most problems being resolved through appropriate channels, though some concerns about access for inspections in 2021 and 2018 remain noteworthy.
