177 East 102nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10029

177 East 102nd Street is a 5-story, 8-unit old law tenement building located in East Harlem, owned by Francisco Martinez and constructed in 1910. The building has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past few years, most significantly a heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building in November 2021, which was resolved within four days according to HPD records. The property has maintained a concerning pattern of housing maintenance violations related to bedbug reporting compliance, with open violations recorded in 2023, 2024, and most recently in April 2024, all citing non-filing of the required annual bedbug report.

A previous bedbug violation from 2021 was closed. The building's rodent inspection history reveals mixed conditions, with all inspections from 2022 through 2025 passing, indicating improved pest management. However, there were significant rodent activity issues between 2018 and 2019, with four consecutive inspections between November 2018 and July 2019 recording rat activity.

The property had previously documented periods of rodent infestation, as evidenced by the notably different inspection results from 2018-2019 compared to more recent years. The building's bedbug reporting history shows no infestations during the 2019-2020 period, with all counts listed as zero, although the ongoing bedbug reporting violations suggest continued non-compliance with HPD requirements. The building's most recent records indicate improved conditions overall, with consistent passing results in rodent inspections since 2022. However, the persistence of open bedbug reporting violations remains a notable compliance issue, while the 2021 heat and hot water outage serves as a reminder of previous service interruptions.
