16 East 105th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029
16 East 105th Street is a 6-story, 19-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Mark Scharfman. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water supply, with multiple emergency complaints recorded between 2023 and 2025, particularly affecting the entire building. There are also persistent mold problems, with the most recent complaint filed in June 2025 remaining open. The building has undergone several inspections revealing various violations, primarily related to door maintenance and security.
Between 2023 and 2024, violations were documented regarding self-closing doors in multiple apartments (1, 6, and 17) and the bulkhead door to the roof. Specifically, during 2023, there were issues with doors having defective hinges, missing self-closing mechanisms, and security concerns including a problematic slide bolt in Apartment 1. The building also faced temperature control issues in summer 2023, with complaints about unauthorized heating. The property has maintained a relatively good record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the last five annual filings (2021-2025).
Recent rodent inspections show passed results in 2025 and 2024, though there were instances of rat activity noted in 2024 and 2022. The building's maintenance history shows consistent engagement with housing authorities, though access issues have sometimes prevented complete inspections, particularly regarding heat and hot water complaints. The most recent building permit was issued in September 2018 for exterior work. The property's location in East Harlem, while historically experiencing various urban challenges, has shown some recent improvements in pest control outcomes as indicated by the passed inspection results.
