212 East 105th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029
212 East 105th Street is a 6-story, 24-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1925, currently owned by Steven Croman. The building has been experiencing persistent maintenance issues in recent months, with multiple complaints filed regarding heat and hot water problems throughout 2025, including an entire building outage in April 2025. There have been several unsuccessful inspection attempts by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) due to access issues, particularly regarding heat/hot water problems, unsanitary conditions (garbage/recycling storage), and plumbing concerns.
The building's infrastructure has shown signs of significant deterioration, with outstanding Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations from late 2024 regarding hazardous conditions related to the sidewalk shed, including non-operating lighting and missing information panels, as well as issues with the building facade noted as bulging and showing peeling stucco. The property has a documented history of rodent activity, with inspection results from 2024-2025 indicating consistent rat presence, though recent inspections in early 2025 showed some compliance progress. Several building-wide and apartment-specific maintenance issues were recorded in 2024-2025, including problems with electrical wiring, water leaks, and plumbing fixtures.
The building's front entrance security has also been a concern, with violations issued in late 2024 regarding doors not self-closing properly. While there have been no bedbug infestations reported in recent years (2018-2024), and the unit count for pest issues has remained at zero in all recent reports. The building's management has received multiple violation notices throughout 2024-2025, indicating ongoing challenges in maintaining basic services and infrastructure, particularly concerning heating systems and building maintenance requirements.
