114 St Marks Place, Manhattan, NY 10009

The 5-unit, 4-story old law tenement at 114 St Marks Place, owned by Erick Martinez, has experienced several significant issues in recent years, particularly regarding building systems and maintenance compliance. Most notably, in February 2024, the building faced two separate heat and hot water complaints involving the entire building, with one resulting in an inspection and the other being closed due to lack of access. A gas supply violation was issued to Apartment 3 in February 2024.

The building's boiler and pressure system maintenance has been a recurring concern, with violations for failure to file required external low-pressure inspections for 2018-2021 identified in 2023, though one from 2018 was later dismissed. A 2021 boiler-related complaint resulted in an Oath Violation being served. The property has maintained a generally good record regarding pest management, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years (2019-2024), as confirmed by annual reporting. Regular rodent inspections have consistently passed from 2019 through 2025, demonstrating effective pest control measures.

The building underwent multiple tenant safety inspections in 2023, though none resulted in violations. Records show that the owner has been proactive in obtaining necessary permits, with plumbing permits issued in 2023 and 2024. While the building has faced some maintenance challenges, particularly with heat/hot water systems and boiler compliance, there have been no recent safety violations or indications of severe tenant habitability issues. Regular inspections and prompt corrections of most violations suggest ongoing maintenance efforts, though the pattern of heat system complaints indicates potential recurring infrastructure challenges.
