163 East 107th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029

The 5-unit, 4-story OLD LAW TENEMENT building at 163 East 107th Street in East Harlem, owned by Roopa Bhusri and constructed in 1910, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past seven years. Notable among these were repeated water leak problems in 2018, with heavy flow complaints recorded in August and September of that year, leading to Housing Maintenance Code violations.

Apartment 5 specifically had multiple violations documented in September 2018, including issues with self-closing doors, water leaks in the ceiling, and defective plastered surfaces. More recent history shows consistent compliance with rodent inspections, with regular passes recorded from 2021 through 2025, though there was one failed inspection in late 2021. The building has maintained a clean bedbug record from 2021 to 2024, with no reported infestations during this period.

A gas utility referral complaint was filed in 2019, though inspectors were unable to gain access on their final attempt. The most recent significant building improvement was permitted in November 2022, though the specific nature of this work is not detailed in the records. The property has shown generally good maintenance practices in recent years, with no major violations or recurring issues reported since 2018, and it successfully passed multiple rodent and bedbug inspections, indicating improved overall conditions.
