105 East 116th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029

105 East 116th Street is a 5-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building in East Harlem, built in 1910 and currently owned by Bevanjae Kelley. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water system issues, with at least four documented complaints between 2019-2024, though in many cases, inspection access was not granted. More recently, in March 2024, there was a complaint regarding mold that required HPD inspection, though no violations were issued.

The building has undergone several maintenance inspections revealing multiple issues, particularly in apartment 5. A July 2019 inspection found problems including defective wood flooring, plaster damage, and a water leak requiring repair, and as of 2022, violations remained open regarding these conditions. Other documented issues include a 2021 indoor air quality complaint involving chemical vapors, and a 2018 sewage odor complaint that warranted review by health authorities. While the building has maintained compliance with recent rodent inspections, passing all checks in 2023-2025, there was a concerning "fail" result in mid-2022 for other reasons, though bait was subsequently applied.

The building's bedbug reporting history from 2019-2024 shows no recorded infestations, and recent filings continue to report zero affected units. The property has consistently faced emergency maintenance issues requiring attention, particularly related to heat/hot water problems and plumbing concerns. While some violations have been addressed and closed over time, including a 2018 window repair in apartment 9, several violations remain open as of the latest records. The building's historical complaint pattern suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heating systems and water-related issues, though recent records indicate improved conditions with no bedbug infestations and successful rodent control measures.
