150 East 110th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029

150 East 110th Street is a 5-story, 12-unit old law tenement building located in East Harlem, owned by Frank Dobbs and constructed in 1910. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. Most notably, in 2024, there were violations related to the oil-fired boiler system, including defects in the boiler with openings on ceiling and walls, and missing door bolts, which resulted in an ECB violation and a disposition of Oath Violation Served.

Previous structural concerns were documented in 2021, with multiple violations regarding the parapet wall cracking and issues with decorative stone above windows on the Lexington Avenue side, leading to monetary penalties. The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug reporting compliance since 2019, with no reported infestations in the past five reporting periods, and rodent inspections have shown variable results, with recent inspections indicating ongoing rodent management efforts with bait applications in 2023-2024 and some initial inspections noting rat activity. The property's maintenance history shows attention to multiple building systems, with permit work being documented in 2019.

A series of Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) complaints from 2023-2024 indicated issues with food establishment practices, including reports of odors, bare hands in food contact, and lack of permits, though these were ultimately resolved. Historical violations from 2018 related to repairs needed for the building's front paving and fire retardant materials in the public hall were addressed and certified. The building has consistently filed its annual bedbug reports as required, showing a pattern of proactive compliance with this specific requirement, and while there have been multiple rodent-related inspections and treatments, recent inspections in 2025 have shown improved compliance with rat activity being noted only briefly during certain months.
