118 East 102nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10029
118 East 102nd Street is a 5-story, 10-unit Old Law Tenement building in East Harlem, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Jake Pollack. The property has faced persistent pest control challenges, particularly with rodent infestations, as evidenced by multiple inspections and complaints between 2022 and 2025 showing recurring rat activity. The most recent service requests in April 2025 involved both unsanitary conditions related to pests and ceiling paint/plaster issues, with violations issued by HPD.
The building has maintained a clean bedbug record from 2019 to the present, with no reported or eradicated units over the past several years. The property has experienced various maintenance issues over time, including a 2022 heat/hot water emergency that was resolved, and multiple sanitation-related complaints. Notably, in 2022, there were significant violations in Apartment 1D involving mold accumulation and defective self-closing doors, though these were certified as corrected.
Security concerns were addressed in 2019 regarding an illegal electromagnetic locking device and building entrance security. The Department of Buildings conducted inspections in 2019 that identified various administrative violations related to building safety and maintenance protocols, including door lock issues and gas leak procedures, though most of these were subsequently resolved. Recent inspections in 2024-2025 have consistently shown rat activity, with the most recent compliance inspection in April 2025 confirming continued rodent presence.
