256 East 105th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029

The five-story, nine-unit old-law tenement building at 256 East 105th Street in East Harlem, owned by Jaime Eugenio, has a mixed record of maintenance and compliance since 2018. The most recent notable issues include an active violation from June 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2018 external low-pressure inspection, and multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2020 related to apartment 5W, including problems with ceilings in the kitchen and bathroom, water leaks, and plastered surfaces that required repair. The building has demonstrated consistent rodent control compliance, passing all inspections from 2018 through 2025.

Bedbug reporting from 2021 to present shows zero instances of infestation or re-infestation, suggesting effective management of this potential issue. The property experienced several maintenance concerns in 2020, with complaints about flooring, ceilings, and plumbing, though most were resolved without violations, except for the ceiling issues in 5W. Earlier, in 2019, there were multiple complaints about various systems including heating, water leaks, and appliances, though inspections were unable to gain access for evaluation.

The building's inspection history shows a pattern of responsiveness to violations, with most being closed appropriately, though there was a instance of multiple violations in 2020 related to ceilings, water leaks, and general maintenance that required certification of correction. Recent inspections and the absence of bedbug or rodent issues in the most recent evaluations suggest improved conditions, though the active DOB violation regarding the 2018 external low-pressure inspection would warrant attention under normal circumstances. The property has undergone consistent annual bedbug reporting showing no infestations since 2021, and regular rodent inspections have all resulted in passing grades. The building's maintenance history shows periods of concentrated issues, particularly in 2019 and 2020, but most recent complaints and inspection results indicate improved conditions, though the active DOB violation regarding the 2018 external low-pressure inspection in 2023 represents the most recent compliance concern.
