145 East 97th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029
145 East 97th Street is a 5-story, 10-unit old law tenement building located in East Harlem, built in 1910 and currently owned by Matla Wiener. The building has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges with its boiler system, as evidenced by a 2019 violation for failing to file the 2017 annual boiler inspection report and a 2024 complaint regarding a defective/inoperative boiler, though inspectors were unable to gain access during their final attempt to investigate.
The building has had notable pest control issues, with a significant bedbug infestation reported in 2020 affecting all 10 units, though subsequent annual reports from 2021 through 2024 have shown no further infestations. More recently, the building has faced rodent management challenges, with multiple bait applications recorded throughout 2024 and early 2025, including instances of rat activity noted during compliance inspections in late 2023 and early 2024.
Despite these issues, the most recent rodent inspection in February 2025 resulted in a passing grade, suggesting some improvement in pest management. The building's maintenance history demonstrates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive maintenance, particularly regarding heating systems and pest control.
