22 East 105th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029
The 6-story, 24-unit tenement building at 22 East 105th Street in East Harlem, owned by Mark Scharfman and constructed in 1910, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past two years. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints in 2024-2025, with emergency complaints filed in March 2025 and January 2025.
The building has also faced persistent water-related issues, including three water leak complaints (two heavy flow and one slow leak) between December 2024 and July 2025, along with an ongoing moisture problem in Apartment 301 that has generated both C and B class violations for water leaks and mold in 2023-2024. Additional concerns include a problematic bell/buzzer/intercom system (2025), an electrical/gas range issue (2024), and multiple instances of paint/plaster problems.
Significant infrastructure concerns emerged in the summer of 2023, with two active ECB violations related to gas lines - one for improper future installation on the apartment gas line in August 2023, and another for illegal gas lines connected to a newly installed laundry room with commercial appliances. The building underwent rodent control measures throughout 2023, with initial inspections showing rat activity in April 2023 and bait application continuing through the year. While the building has maintained a clean bedbug record for the past several years, with no reported infestations between 2020-2025, and recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have all passed, the persistent heating, water, and infrastructure issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
