118 East 104th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029

The 6-story, 23-unit building at 118 East 104th Street in East Harlem, owned by Ansel Duvivier, has experienced several maintenance and infrastructure issues over the past two years. Most notably, there is currently an open complaint regarding heat/hot water issues in one apartment that has persisted since March 2025, despite HPD's notification to the property owner. The building has undergone multiple inspections and received various complaints since 2024, including plumbing problems (with both water supply and radiator issues), electrical problems, and pest control matters.

Most complaints have been closed with no violations found, though one unsanitary condition complaint regarding pests resulted in violations that required correction. The property has maintained relatively clean records regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past three years and only one documented case in 2020 that was eradicated. Rodent inspections, conducted regularly from 2017 to 2025, have all passed successfully, indicating effective pest management.

The building's history includes various maintenance violations from 2021, primarily affecting apartments 1D and 6D, relating to water leaks, plaster and paint issues, door repairs, and fire safety concerns, all of which have since been resolved. The Department of Buildings records show two emergency complaints from October 2024 involving door issues and bathtub/shower problems, as well as some administrative violations regarding bedbug reporting and exterior wall examination submissions, which have been resolved or closed. Recent inspections from 2025 have continued to note plumbing, general maintenance, and mechanical system issues, though most have been addressed through HPD inspections.
