69 East 115th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029

The five-story, ten-unit residential building at 69 East 115th Street, owned by Nasir Sasouness, has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues throughout 2023 and 2024, with multiple complaints registered through the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) between February 2023 and November 2024. Many of these emergency complaints indicated lack of access for inspections, though some were verified as building-wide problems.

In addition to the recurring heat-related complaints, the building is currently facing several open violations requiring attention, including an April 2024 bedbug report filing requirement and multiple security issues from 2023-2024, such as defective self-closing vestibule doors, inadequate building entrance lighting, and problems with the entrance door lock systems. The building has also faced sanitation challenges, particularly regarding rodent activity, with multiple inspections from late 2023 through 2025 indicating rat activity and requiring bait application.

While the building appears to have undergone successful bedbug eradication efforts in its most recent filings (showing zero infested units in 2021-2022), previous violations from 2022 included mold issues in Apartment 2E that were subsequently addressed. The property's historical maintenance record shows a pattern of building-wide issues, particularly regarding basic services like heat and security, though many complaints have been closed after investigations, often due to administrative reasons or lack of access for inspection.
