169 East 101st Street, Manhattan, NY 10029

169 East 101st Street is a six-story, 30-unit residential building located in East Harlem, owned by Magdalena Kos and constructed in 1922 as a New Law tenement. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with four separate complaints between 2019 and 2020, including both apartment-specific and entire-building outages.

Recent maintenance concerns include reports of unsanitary conditions related to pests in late 2023, though no violations were found upon inspection. The building has maintained a clean record for bedbugs since 2019, with no infested units reported in the past five years, and has passed multiple rodent inspections, including most recently in March 2025. In terms of violations, two were recorded in May 2021 regarding building maintenance requirements: one for failing to provide a janitor or responsible person and another for not posting required contact information, though these were subsequently certified as corrected.

The Department of Buildings received a gas utility referral complaint in October 2019, but inspection access was not granted. The building's record shows relatively prompt resolution of complaints when access for inspection was possible, and while there have been several service requests, most have been resolved without resulting in formal violations. Permit records from 2020 and 2021 indicate some regulatory compliance activity, though specific details of the permitted work are not provided in the available data.
