22 East 103rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10029

This five-story Old Law Tenement building at 22 East 103rd Street in East Harlem, owned by Narciso Toribio, has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years. Most concerning is a building-wide heat and hot water complaint from March 2023, though investigators from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development were unable to access the building for verification.

The property has two active Class A Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2023 and 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, and there are two unresolved Building Department violations from 2021 and 2022 documenting exterior issues including spalling bricks and damaged mortar joints on multiple facades. However, it's worth noting that the building has consistently passed rodent inspections from 2017 through 2025, indicating effective pest management in this regard. The building's maintenance history shows some periods of active concern, with complaints about failure to maintain the building's exterior in both 2021 and 2022.

Multiple permits for work have been issued, suggesting ongoing maintenance efforts, with the most recent permits issued in May 2023 for equipment and demolition work. While there have been no documented bedbug infestations in recent years (with the last report covering 2020-2021 showing zero affected units), the recurring bedbug report violation notices indicate a potential administrative oversight in reporting requirements. The building's heating system issues and exterior maintenance concerns, while not necessarily indicative of immediate danger, suggest attention to basic building systems could be improved.
