130 East 104th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029

130 East 104th Street is a 6-story, 23-unit New Law tenement building located in East Harlem and constructed in 1915, currently owned by Ansel Duvivier. The building has experienced persistent maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns being rodent infestations, heat and hot water problems, and plumbing issues. As of mid-2025, there are open complaints regarding plumbing in the bathtub/shower and unsanitary conditions related to pests.

Recent inspections and complaints show a pattern of heating system failures, with multiple complaints about lack of heat or hot water in January 2025 and November 2024. The building has also had repeated pest control issues, particularly in apartment 1D, which has multiple open violations relating to rodent and roach infestations, as well as problems with plaster and paint surfaces. The property has undergone several rodent inspections since 2022, with the most recent failing inspection in June 2025.

While there was a period from 2021 through 2024 with no reported bedbug infestations, there have been ongoing pest management challenges. The building's heating system appears to require attention, with violations issued for inadequate heat supply in multiple instances. The Department of Buildings records show two failures to submit required FISP (Facade Inspection Safety Program) reports in 2019, resulting in a penalty, though this violation was eventually dismissed. While the building's management has responded to some complaints and made repairs, as evidenced by the closure of various violations, the recurrence of similar issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
