109 West 129th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

The 6-story, 59-unit building at 109 West 129th Street in Harlem, owned by Daniel Drosin, is a 1910 Old Law Single Room Occupancy structure that has experienced several notable maintenance issues over recent years. Most concerning is the building-wide heat and hot water system, which generated multiple complaints in December 2020 and again in November 2019, though inspections did not result in violations.

More recently, in June 2024, a violation was issued regarding defective self-closing fire-rated doors at the first-story public hall, though this violation was subsequently closed in July 2024. The building's Bedbug Reporting records from 2019 through 2024 show varying levels of infestation, with the most recent filings (2023-2024) showing zero infested units, though there were reports of 2 and 1 infested units in 2019 and 2021 respectively, all of which were eradicated.

The property has maintained a strong record of compliance with rodent control measures, passing all inspections between 2017 and 2025, with the most recent inspections in March and September 2025. The building's heat and hot water system has been a persistent issue throughout the years, with multiple complaints recorded between 2019 and 2020, though recent heating-related complaints have ceased. The building's management has demonstrated consistent attention to maintaining basic standards, as evidenced by the timely resolution of most housing maintenance code violations and the annual bedbug reporting requirements being met with zero infestation counts in recent years.
