98 Park Terrace East, Manhattan, NY 10034

98 Park Terrace East is a 6-story, 49-unit residential building located in Inwood, constructed in 1949 and currently owned by Valon Rexhepi. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints filed in early 2025 and in 2024, including recent February 2025 reports affecting both entire buildings and individual apartments. More concerning is the current status of two open maintenance issues reported in January 2025, specifically a slow water leak and a window frame problem, which remain unresolved according to HPD records.

The building has faced several other maintenance challenges over the years, including pest control issues, with a rat sighting in May 2024 and a significant pest complaint in October 2023, though recent inspections in 2025 have shown compliance with rodent control standards. The property has also been subject to various regulatory requirements and violations. Active violations currently include failure to file important technical reports as of February 2024 and non-compliance with immediately hazardous ECB violations.

Historical inspections from 2018 revealed multiple administrative code violations needing correction, including requirements for posting safety notices and maintaining proper documentation regarding heating system access. While the building has maintained a clean bedbug record since 2019, with annual reports showing zero infested units, and recent rodent inspections have shown compliance, the recurring nature of heat/water issues and currently open maintenance complaints suggest ongoing infrastructure challenges. The building's management has had mixed success in addressing violations promptly, as evidenced by both recently opened complaints and past violations that were eventually closed.
