152 East 118th Street, Manhattan, NY 10035

The 8-story multi-family building at 152 East 118th Street in East Harlem, owned by Maria Fontanez, has experienced several notable maintenance issues since its completion in 2009. Most recently, the building underwent rodent inspections between 2022 and 2025, with six consecutive passing results, though there was one failed inspection in February 2022 for "Other Reasons." In terms of infrastructure and maintenance concerns, a significant cluster of violations was documented in November 2018 affecting Apartment 19, including multiple issues with sloping wood floors and defective flooring in various rooms, which were classified as Class B violations and remain open as of the latest records.

Other historical issues include a rodent-related violation in December 2021 that required follow-up inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, and multiple complaints in November 2018 regarding paint/plaster conditions, flooring issues, and appliance problems, with varying outcomes in terms of violations being issued. The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2021, with all five recent annual filings (2021-2025) showing zero infested or re-infested units.

Department of Buildings records show three permits issued between late 2018 and early 2020, all associated with the same job number (123556008), though specific details about the permit work are not provided in the data. Most notably, the property received a Class A violation in March 2023 regarding the failure to file the required annual bedbug report, though this appears to have been addressed in subsequent filings. The building's maintenance history indicates periodic issues with various systems and infrastructure, but recent records suggest improved conditions, particularly regarding pest control.
