158 East 102nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10029
158 East 102nd Street is a 5-story, 16-unit Old Law Tenement building located in East Harlem, built in 1900 and currently owned by Atmi Kurtishi. The building has experienced several significant issues over the past few years, most notably a fire incident in January 2022 that caused damage to multiple apartments (3C, 4D, 5A, 5B, 5C, and 5D) and the first-floor laundromat, leading to temporary vacate orders and multiple violations. The property has a concerning pattern of heat and hot water issues, with eight documented complaints between 2021 and 2024, including a recent complaint in December 2024. There were also electrical issues in 2022, including a power outage and lighting problems.
The building's safety systems have faced challenges, with violations related to carbon monoxide detectors (2022) and window guards (2022). In terms of structural concerns, there were two significant complaints in January 2022 regarding building shaking/vibration, leading to a building under structural monitoring status. The property's records show various compliance issues, including multiple violations related to bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2023, though recent filings show no infested units. The building underwent unauthorized modifications, as evidenced by multiple ECB violations in 2022 related to additional apartments created on the 4th and 5th floors, improper electrical work in the basement, and obstructed sprinkler heads.
Several DOB violations regarding external low pressure inspections were issued and subsequently dismissed in 2022-2024. The most recent rodent inspection in March 2025 passed, following some failures in previous inspections. While some violations have been resolved, including fire damage remediation and building safety improvements, the persistence of heat/hot water issues and the history of unauthorized modifications raise ongoing compliance concerns. The building has maintained active bedbug and rodent monitoring programs in recent years, with consistent reporting of zero infested units in 2023-2025.
