11 East 109th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029

The 6-story, 24-unit tenement building at 11 East 109th Street in East Harlem, owned by Walter Roberts and constructed in 1925, has recently experienced significant maintenance issues, particularly regarding heating systems. Between January and June 2025, there were multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints, with several requiring HPD inspections that encountered access issues. In addition to heating problems, the building has ongoing pest management challenges, evidenced by four "Rat Activity" inspections in 2024-2025, though there was one compliant status achieved in January 2025.

The building has also faced documented maintenance concerns regarding specific units, particularly Apartment 3B (November 2024), which has open violations for roach infestation, water leakage, and required repainting. Apartment 3D has open violations for floor repair and lead paint hazards. The building's history shows consistent monitoring of bedbug infestations, though recent reports from 2021-2024 indicate no active infestations during the reporting periods.

There is also a pattern of rodent control efforts, with multiple bait applications recorded between 2024 and 2025. The most recent building-wide inspection related to heating issues occurred in June 2025, though results were not specified in the available data. A Department of Buildings work permit was issued in September 2019 for unspecified work (Job #140866702).
