118 East 92nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10128

118 East 92nd Street is a 6-story, 26-unit residential building constructed in 1976, currently owned by Dominique Punnett. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in recent months, with complaints filed in April 2025, February 2025, December 2024, and November 2024, all classified as emergencies. Recent inspections also noted inadequate heat or hot water in at least one apartment.

Multiple maintenance issues have been documented, including ventilation system problems (December 2023), potential indoor air quality concerns (March 2025), and various plumbing and appliance issues. The building has several active housing maintenance code violations as of 2024-2025, including self-closing door issues in apartments 2A, 2B, 2C, 5B, and 6B, and a water leak problem in apartment 3C. Exterior maintenance concerns were previously documented, with violations related to building walls and appurtenances noted in 2018 and 2021. While the elevator issue from 2021 was reportedly resolved, there are currently active ECB violations regarding submission of required inspection reports and an exterior wall examination report.

Notably, the building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations since 2019, and most recent rodent inspections have passed, though there was a failed inspection in October 2023. The property's maintenance history shows a pattern of inspection access issues, particularly regarding heat and hot water complaints, where inspectors were unable to gain access to the apartments in multiple instances. While some violations have been addressed and closed, several remain open as of 2025, particularly concerning door self-closing mechanisms and exterior maintenance requirements. The building's age and location in the Upper East Side are notable, and the recurring nature of certain complaints, particularly regarding heat and hot water, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
