81 East 115th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029
81 East 115th Street is a 5-story, 9-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1910 in East Harlem, currently owned by Nasir Sasouness. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with the most recent complaint filed in December 2024. Multiple inspections between 2021 and 2023 revealed various safety and maintenance concerns, including problems with sprinklers, garbage storage, window guards, and more.
Two critical safety violations remain open from 2023-2024: a broken fire retardant material at the ceiling and south wall of the first story public hall, and a defective self-closing door in the entrance at apartment 5R. The building also has an active Environmental Control Board violation from January 2023 regarding a dangerously hanging light fixture in the main entrance with exposed wires. Recent months (2025) have shown persistent rodent issues, with multiple bait applications recorded between February and July 2025, and notable rat activity observed in April and February 2025.
The building has undergone various inspections and been required to submit bedbug reports quarterly, with the most recent report indicating no infested units and all units having been treated. Additional maintenance concerns have been documented, including electrical wiring issues, mold conditions, and the need for painting in common areas. While some violations have been resolved and closed, there remains a significant number of open violations and recurring maintenance issues that impact the building's habitability. The building's age and history of multiple emergency complaints suggest ongoing challenges with maintenance and resident comfort, particularly relating to basic services such as heat and water.
