124 East 102nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10029

124 East 102nd Street is a 5-story, 10-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Nilsa Flores. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, with the most significant concerns centering around heating and safety systems. Between late 2021 and early 2022, there were multiple heat and hot water complaints suggesting sporadic issues with these essential services.

More recently, in late 2024, violations were issued concerning the absence of carbon monoxide and smoke detectors in Apartment 5, though these were certified as corrected by December 2024. The building has also faced challenges with rodent activity, as evidenced by multiple DOHMH complaints and inspections throughout 2024 and 2025, though recent April 2025 inspections indicate improved conditions. The building's maintenance history reveals several other notable issues, including broken windows, defective electrical outlets, and concerns about fire escape safety.

Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2023-2024 include deficiencies with bedbug reporting requirements, though these are marked as open violations. The property has undergone several inspections for various complaints, with most receiving "No Violation Warranted" findings, including concerns about egress, illegal hotel rooms, and work without permits. A Dob violation regarding failure to file 2018 external low pressure inspection remains active as of June 2023. While the building's age and history suggest typical urban maintenance challenges, the pattern of heating system complaints and rodent activity warrants attention as the property continues to evolve through 2025.
