126 East 104th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029
The 6-story New Law Tenement at 126 East 104th Street in East Harlem, built in 1915 and owned by Fermin Garcia, has a recurring issue with heat and hot water systems. Since late 2018, there have been multiple building-wide heat and hot water complaints, with the most recent incidents occurring in February and December 2024, as well as January 2023. In most cases, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to access units for verification during their inspections.
The building has maintained an active bedbug monitoring program, successfully reporting zero infestations in all annual filings from 2019 through 2024. Recent inspections have consistently passed rodent checks, with the most recent inspection in March 2025 showing no violations. The building has experienced various maintenance issues that required attention. In 2021, two complaints were filed regarding improper vent/exhaust systems, and there were violations related to the failure to submit required inspection reports for external walls and low pressure systems in 2020 and 2023, respectively.
However, these violations were ultimately dismissed or resolved. A bedbug management order from 2018 was addressed by posting proper procedures in the first story public hall. While there have been multiple heat-related complaints, there have been no verified reports of ongoing infestations or significant safety violations in recent years. The building's maintenance records show regular compliance with rodent inspections, with no active violations since 2019, and all housing maintenance code violations have been closed following appropriate response measures.
