121 East 110th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029

121 East 110th Street is a 7-story, 48-unit residential building constructed in 2007 and currently owned by Joseph Zitolo. The property has experienced recurring heating issues in early 2025, with multiple complaints about lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building, though housing authorities were often unable to gain access for inspections. There have also been several complaints about smoking in prohibited areas during 2025.

The building has documented rodent activity, with inspections in 2025 and 2024 showing rat presence, though there have been some "Passed" inspections in between. Previous maintenance issues include elevator outages in late 2018, and multiple housing violations were issued in 2024 regarding self-closing doors and other safety features. The building's history shows various maintenance challenges, particularly in 2022-2024, including violations for missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors (Apartment 3B), multiple heating system issues, and problems with garbage storage documented in 2025.

Apartment 7A had several documented maintenance issues in late 2022, including problems with floor planks and cabinet drawers. The property has maintained an active pattern of compliance updates, with various permits issued in 2018-2019 for plumbing and other work. While there were documented bedbug incidents in 2018-2019, more recent reports from 2020-2024 show zero infestation claims. The building's management has generally responded to complaints, but the recurrence of similar issues, particularly heating problems, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
