129 East 101st Street, Manhattan, NY 10029

The 10-unit, 5-story tenement building at 129 East 101st Street in East Harlem, owned by Jaqueline Queiroz and constructed in 1910, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there have been two recent heat and hot water emergencies affecting the entire building in late 2023, with complaints filed on November 28, 2023. The building has also faced recurring electrical problems, including a lighting outage in September 2023, and various other maintenance issues such as wall repairs (January 2023), stairway concerns (August 2022), and pest control challenges.

Notably, there were violations related to self-closing doors in July 2024, affecting the fire door to the west yard and other areas, though these were subsequently addressed and certified as corrected in August 2024. The property has a history of rodent activity, with inspections in 2024 and 2025 showing both rat activity and compliance passes, indicating ongoing challenges in maintaining a pest-free environment. A 2019 inspection revealed mold violations in Apartment 5, though these were subsequently addressed.

The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status since 2019, with no reported infestations in the annual reporting periods. While the property has experienced various maintenance issues typical of an older tenement building, it is worth noting that many of these issues have been addressed and closed upon inspection, suggesting active management response to maintenance concerns, though some recent heat/hot water issues remain unresolved as of late 2023. The building's most recent rodent inspection in April 2025 passed, indicating some improvement in pest management.
