153 East 106th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029
153 East 106th Street is a 4-story, 7-unit old law tenement building located in East Harlem and owned by Ivan Sun, dating back to 1910. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in 2025, with three emergency complaints between March 15-18, 2025, affecting both apartments and the entire building, though inspections found conditions either resolved or not in violation of housing laws.
The property has a significant history of maintenance concerns, particularly regarding heat and hot water, with similar complaints filed in December 2022, January 2022, and throughout 2021. Structural and safety issues have also been documented, including two open Class C violations from December 2022 related to a defective wood tread on the 3rd-story public hall stairs and defective vestibule doors on the 1st story. The building has faced various health and safety inspections, with the most recent rodent inspections in 2025 showing improved conditions, though previous years indicated rat activity and the need for bait application in multiple inspections throughout 2024.
A notable complaint regarding possible illegal hotel rooms and blocked egress was filed in 2018, resulting in a violation for unauthorized work in apartment 2E, though this violation is currently listed as active. Between 2021 and 2024, the building has maintained a record of zero reported bedbug infestations in its annual filings, and while there were several food establishment complaints in 2024 related to health code violations, these appeared to be resolved through normal inspection processes. The property has a mix of resolved and open violations that suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding building systems like heat and hot water, while showing some improvement in pest control management through recent inspections.
