161 East 110th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029

161 East 110th Street is an 8-story, 68-unit residential building constructed in 2008, currently managed by Samantha Viguie. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, with the most pressing concerns in 2025 involving indoor air quality and slow water leaks, as well as ongoing mold problems. A significant cluster of violations emerged in August 2024, primarily affecting apartment 4K, including issues with ventilation systems, heat/hot water, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and plaster/paint conditions.

The building has faced persistent water-related issues, with multiple service requests for slow leaks, and ventilation-related concerns, as evidenced by complaints to both HPD and 311. Safety systems have been a recurring focus, with documented violations for defective smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and security concerns regarding locked access to heating systems. The building's maintenance history shows both improvements and ongoing challenges. While there have been successful resolutions to many complaints, including some ventilation issues and various repairs, several violations remain open as of mid-2025, particularly concerning mold, heating systems, and safety devices.

The property has maintained a consistent record of successfully addressing bedbug inspections, showing zero infested units in the past several reporting periods. Rat activity has been sporadic, with recent inspections in 2025 showing positive compliance results in most cases, though there have been some failures noted. The building's history of elevator-related complaints, particularly regarding single device service, was documented in 2018 and 2021, but inspections did not find violations at those times. Environmental Control Board violations have also been noted, including a 2024 violation regarding parking structure inspection requirements, resulting in a $2,500 penalty.
