114 East 104th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029

114 East 104th Street is a 6-story, 24-unit residential building constructed in 1915 in East Harlem, currently owned by Ansel Duvivier. The building has experienced recurring heating issues in early 2025, with multiple complaints filed regarding lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building, though HPD inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. Between 2021 and 2022, the property received several housing maintenance code violations, particularly in apartment 4C, including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, door functionality, ceiling plaster and paint conditions, and electrical fixtures. There was also one heat and hot water emergency in 2022, and a plumbing complaint in 2021.

The building demonstrated compliance with rodent inspections, passing all inspections from 2017 through 2025. Bedbug incidents were documented in 2023 (3 units affected, all eradicated) and previously in 2020, with no reported cases in recent years. The building's maintenance history shows some concerning patterns, particularly regarding heating systems and appliance maintenance. The property had violations related to fire safety equipment in both 2021 and 2022.

Recent external wall inspection requirements were not met in 2019 and 2020, resulting in fines, though these violations were eventually dismissed. The building has maintained consistent rodent control and had relatively few unit-specific issues prior to 2025. Recent complaints about heating systems remain unresolved as of July 2025. Records indicate periodic updates and repairs across various building systems, though access issues for inspectors have been a recurring theme in several complaints. Additionally, the property has demonstrated a pattern of addressing most violations within an acceptable timeframe, with many being certified as corrected.
