114 East 102nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10029

114 East 102nd Street is a 5-story, 9-unit Old Law Tenement building in East Harlem owned by John Warren and constructed in 1910. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past two years, with the most recent complaints including heating problems affecting the entire building (April 2025), and multiple complaints from November 2024 related to water leaks, electrical problems, and ceiling paint/plaster issues.

There have been several heating system-related complaints, with a notable violation for inadequate heat/hot water documented in April 2024, though HPD was able to verify the issue through inspection of another apartment. The building has also faced persistent rodent problems, with multiple inspections between 2023 and 2025 consistently finding rat activity, though follow-up inspections have sometimes shown compliance with health regulations. Recent housing maintenance code violations indicate various maintenance issues, including an open violation from May 2024 regarding a defective flushing apparatus in Apartment 4A, though some previous violations related to hot water provision and heating system access have been certified as closed.

Historical complaints show a pattern of access issues during inspections, with multiple instances where HPD could not gain entry to inspect reported problems, including complaints about doors/windows, appliances, and heating systems. The building's infrastructure has shown signs of distress, evidenced by multiple electrical complaints (including a power outage in November 2024) and water-related issues. Despite these challenges, records indicate proper handling of bedbug reporting, with no reported infestations over the past several years, and some structural improvements documented through Department of Buildings permits between 2018-2020, though the nature of these permits was not specified in the data provided.
