111 East 100th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029

The 51-unit, 5-story building at 111 East 100th Street in East Harlem, owned by Christopher Cirillo, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most significantly, the property has faced ongoing elevator problems, with multiple violations and complaints regarding inoperative systems, including persistent issues with door lock monitoring, piston alignment, and oil leakage between 2023-2025, resulting in substantial penalties totaling over $12,000 in active Environmental Control Board violations.

The building has also recorded various resident complaints in 2025, including issues with plumbing (shower), pests, door/window problems, and appliance concerns, though inspection access was frequently denied, resulting in many complaints being closed without direct resolution. Multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations remain open as of late 2024-early 2025, particularly affecting apartments 2B, 2C, 3J, and 5J, involving problems with electrical systems, plumbing fixtures, and building envelope issues. Additional concerns include documented indoor air quality issues (June 2025), a sequence of emergency water leak complaints, and multiple instances of unsanitary conditions.

The building underwent facade and window work as evidenced by permit activity in 2018-2020, but numerous violations for failure to certify corrections on immediately hazardous conditions have been recorded throughout 2023-2025. While bedbug and rodent inspections have generally shown compliance or zero infestation reports over the past several years, there were some compliance failures in 2024. The building's maintenance record suggests ongoing challenges with response to resident complaints and timely resolution of building systems issues, particularly regarding the aging elevator equipment which has been a recurring focus of violations and penalties.
