125 East 101st Street, Manhattan, NY 10029

125 East 101st Street is a 5-story, 10-unit Old Law Tenement building located in East Harlem, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by James Carbone. The building has experienced a pattern of construction-related issues in recent years, with multiple complaints and violations recorded in 2023 and 2024, including unlicensed work, improper plumbing work, and dust control violations. Specifically, two active ECB violations from October 2023 remain open, concerning inadequate dust control outside apartments 4E and 5W, each carrying a penalty of $655.

The building has undergone several inspections related to these issues, with some complaints leading to Oath Violations being served in October 2023. More recent activity includes an illegal conversion complaint in April 2025, which was found to have no violations warranting action during inspection. Despite these construction-related concerns, the building has maintained a relatively clean record in other areas.

There have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past eight reporting periods (2018-2024), and rodent inspections have generally been successful, with the most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passing. A dust-related indoor air quality complaint was filed in August 2023, though the issue was officially addressed through a departmental advisory. While there was a smoking violation complaint in May 2022, this was administratively closed with confirmation that the issue was addressed. The building's current status shows ongoing attention to construction-related matters, particularly regarding dust control and work authorization compliance, though many previous complaints have been resolved through inspections showing no violations at the time of check.
