101 East 102nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10029
101 East 102nd Street is a 5-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building located in East Harlem, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Luis Vargas. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent problems occurring in 2024 involving plumbing issues in March, heat/hot water problems in December 2023, and multiple violations being documented during a July 2024 inspection of apartment 3B.
These 2024 violations include issues with paint condition, window guards, safety devices like smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, mold in the kitchenette, and various repairs needed in 3B that are documented as both Class A and B violations. The building has a somewhat concerning history of plumbing problems, particularly related to bathtubs/showers, with multiple complaints filed from 2021 through 2024. Rodent activity has been a persistent issue in and around the property, with the most recent inspections in early 2025 showing continued rat activity, following a pattern of failed inspections for rodent presence in 2023-2024.
The building has maintained a consistent record of no bedbug infestations since 2020, with regular reporting showing 0 infested units. A Department of Buildings violation was issued in September 2024 regarding the failure to file for the 2023 external low-pressure inspection, which currently remains active as of 2025. While many of the building's maintenance issues have been addressed and closed through HPD inspections, the ongoing violations and recent rodent activity suggest continuing challenges with building maintenance and environmental conditions.
