250 West 72nd Street, Manhattan

Winter heat drops and recurring mold calls define the indoor record here.

A 10-unit pre-war rental steps from Broadway, where building maintenance gets logged in spurts rather than steady drips. Three things to know:

Heat cuts out across the entire building during cold snaps. 13 heat and hot water complaints logged over the past two years, with major clusters hitting during cold snaps in late 2025 and early 2026. Several calls explicitly noted entire-building outages, pointing to boiler stability issues rather than unit-level radiator valves.

Mold calls surface regularly alongside winter heating complaints. 5 unsanitary condition calls over the last two years, dominated by mold complaints alongside pest reports. The most recent mold complaints were filed in early 2026, showing a lingering moisture issue in the line.
