181 East 107th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029
181 East 107th Street is a four-story, five-unit tenement building constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Derek Cohn. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years, most notably a power outage in July 2024 that resulted in violations from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). Multiple violations were documented in July 2024 affecting Apartment 2, including problems with electrical service, missing carbon monoxide detectors, and various issues with self-closing doors and window guards.
The building has also faced serious concerns in the past regarding fire safety and unauthorized construction. In late 2021, there were multiple Environmental Control Board violations related to building modifications that allegedly created unsafe conditions, including obstructed exit passageways and unauthorized occupancy arrangements on the fourth floor. Three active violations remain outstanding as of 2023-2024 regarding failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2018 and 2019.
The building has maintained a clean record in terms of pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years (2019-2024) and successful rodent inspections passing in 2023, 2024, and 2025. Historical records show regular rodent inspections between 2018-2025 consistently passed, indicating effective management of this particular maintenance concern. The property has had periodic violations and complaints regarding various maintenance issues over the years, including some related to door functionality, waste management, and safety equipment maintenance. The various inspections and violation resolutions suggest ongoing attention to maintenance issues, though the presence of open violations as of 2023-2024 indicates some persistent building system challenges, particularly related to electrical systems and building safety features.
