161 East 106th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029
161 East 106th Street is a 4-story, 18-unit residential tenement building in East Harlem, built in 1920 and currently owned by William Guerrero. The building has experienced persistent heat and hot water service issues over the past two years, with eight emergency complaints filed between October 2023 and March 2025, though HPD inspections were repeatedly unable to access units for verification. More recent rodent activity has been documented in Apartment 2A (January 2024) along with mold issues in the kitchen, with violations classified as Class B and C.
The building has a history of self-closing door issues, with violations noted for various entrances including the cellar door (both following a January 2024 inspection). While rat activity was confirmed in March 2023, subsequent inspections through 2025 have passed. The property's bedbug reporting records from 2021-2024 show no infestations.
The building faced a power outage incident in November 2023, though no violations were issued following the HPD inspection. Although there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints, in each case the inspection teams were unable to gain access to verify the conditions. When violations have been identified, such as the defective GFCI outlet in Apartment 3C from January 2024, these have been documented as closed once addressed.
