100 East 117th Street, Manhattan, NY 10035

The 2-family house at 100 East 117th Street in East Harlem, built in 1900 and currently owned by Martha Rosado, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most concerning being an active violation from January 2019 regarding potential structural instability, noting a facade in disrepair with bulging, cracked, and leaning walls at the parapet level. The building has faced recurrent heating and hot water problems, particularly between late 2020 and early 2021, with multiple emergency complaints filed through the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) regarding inadequate heat and hot water.

Plumbing issues were also documented during this period, including problems with toilets and sinks. More recent concerns include a food establishment odor complaint in 2024, which was addressed by the NYC Health Department.

The building has a history of various complaint types, including rodent sightings in 2022 and multiple heating system failures in 2020-2021. Several inspections between 2019 and 2020, including special operations compliance inspections, found no violations warranting further action, though a building shaking complaint from January 2019 did result in a partial vacate order. The property has been subject to regular oversight from multiple city agencies, including HPD and the Department of Buildings, with most historical complaints being resolved, though the active structural violation from 2019 remains notable.
