91 East 116th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029

The 5-story residential building at 91 East 116th Street in East Harlem, owned by Juan Martinez, has experienced recurring heating and hot water system issues throughout 2024-2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed regarding lack of service affecting the entire building. While some of these issues were reportedly resolved by the time of inspection, the pattern suggests ongoing concerns with building systems. In 2024, Apartment 3C was found with several maintenance issues including defective kitchen countertop and floor, and bathroom waste line problems, though most violations were certified as corrected by July 2024.

The building's elevator system has been a persistent concern, with multiple violations and service interruptions documented between 2019 and 2025, including recent active complaints about single device service with no alternate. The elevator has generated several ECB violations over the years for various maintenance issues, though most have been resolved. The property has generally maintained a good record regarding pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past three years and only two units affected in 2018, all of which were eradicated.

Rodent inspections conducted regularly from 2019 to 2025 have primarily shown compliance, with only one instance of rat activity noted in 2019. Recent plumbing issues have been limited to isolated incidents, with the most recent being a sink problem in April 2025. The building has undergone regular inspections and while some violations have been issued, most have been addressed and closed, with the exception of a few open violations related to roach infestations in Apartments 2B and 3C (as of 2024).
