101 East 115th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029

101 East 115th Street is a six-story, 20-unit New Law Tenement building in East Harlem, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Charles Alpert. The building has experienced several notable maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with the most recent concerns reported in January 2024 involving window frame problems and slow water leaks, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these conditions.

There has been a persistent rodent issue in early 2025, with multiple inspections showing rat activity and bait application, though a July 2025 inspection passed. The property has maintained an active bedbug reporting record since 2020, with zero reported infestations in the most recent filings through 2024, demonstrating compliance with NYC's bedbug reporting requirements. The building has a history of maintenance violations requiring attention to safety protocols and building administration in 2018, including the need to post gas leak procedures, maintain a janitorial presence, display superintendent contact information, and properly show the building's registration number.

A gas utility referral in 2019 resulted in no violations being found at the time of inspection. While the building has exhibited various maintenance challenges, including the recent water leak and window issues, the resolution of past violations and lack of bedbug infestations in recent years indicates some level of ongoing maintenance compliance. The property has also undergone regular rodent inspections in 2024-2025, with the most recent showing improvement in conditions, though there were notable rat activity and bait application requirements earlier in 2025.
