231 East 105th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029
The 8-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building at 231 East 105th Street in East Harlem, owned by Xiomara Gomez, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past several years. Most recently, in October 2024, there was a building-wide complaint of lack of heat or hot water that HPD could not verify due to lack of access.
Similar complaints occurred in 2021 and four times in 2019, most being eventually resolved when tenants reported restoration of services, though access issues limited inspections in three instances. The building has also faced pest challenges, with a bedbug infestation reported in 2021-2022, though since then (2022-2024) no further infestations have been recorded.
The property has undergone several rodent inspections in recent years, showing a mixed record of compliance. Most recently in May 2025, the building passed inspection, but there were multiple instances of rat activity noted between 2024-2025, with initial inspections in December 2024 and November 2024 both recording rat activity. On the maintenance front, there are two notable violations: a February 2019 violation regarding gas leak notice posting requirements (which was certified as corrected in May 2019), and a May 2019 violation concerning broken ceramic floor tiles in the first-story vestibule, which remains open as of 2023.
