180 East 108th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029
180 East 108th Street, a 4-unit, 4-story old law tenement building in East Harlem built in 1910, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. The building's owner, Xiao Qin Fu, faced multiple heat/hot water and cooking gas-related complaints in September 2021, resulting in emergency violations and requiring HPD inspections. During the same period, the building received various Housing Maintenance Code violations including issues with the heating system access, fire retardant materials, roof leaks, and bedbug reporting compliance.
More recently, between 2023 and 2024, the building has faced ongoing rodent issues, with multiple inspections showing rat activity, though some inspections also passed. The property has clean bedbug recordkeeping since May 2024, with no reported infestations in the past two filing periods. In 2019, there were serious safety concerns regarding illegal transient use of the second floor, leading to multiple Environmental Control Board violations related to fire safety systems, sprinklers, and means of egress requirements, though these were resolved without penalties.
The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of emergency situations requiring multiple tenant complaints to prompt action, followed by inspections and violations. While some issues have been resolved, including the 2021-2023 bedbug violations, there are currently open violations from 2021 related to hot water, gas supply, and access to the heating system. The Department of Buildings has conducted inspections showing no violations for certain complaints in 2023-2024, suggesting some improvements. The most recent rodent inspections in 2025 indicate continued pest management challenges, though this appears to be an ongoing city-wide issue rather than specific to this building alone.
