235 East 105th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029

The 7-story, 48-unit residential building at 235 East 105th Street in East Harlem, owned by Thomas Webler and completed in 2002, has experienced recurring maintenance challenges over recent years. Notable recent issues include a health department investigation of smoking violations in early 2025, unsanitary conditions with pests reported in late 2024, and multiple heat and hot water complaints affecting the entire building during 2023. The building has also faced several infrastructure challenges, including plumbing issues (bathtub/shower concerns as of June 2025, and a sink problem in March 2023), and there are currently active violations related to energy efficiency score display and failure to file annual benchmarking reports.

The property has maintained a good record of rodent inspections, consistently passing all inspections from 2018 through 2025. The building has experienced various emergency situations and maintenance issues since its construction, including a documented smoking violation in late 2020, periodic heat and hot water problems, and electrical issues in 2021. Water-related problems have been reported, including heavy flow leaks in 2019 and multiple plumbing complaints in recent years.

While the building has undergone regular rodent inspections with consistent passing results, there were notable pest-related issues in 2024. The property has shown improvements in bedbug management, with the most recent annual reports (2023-2024) indicating no infested units. The Department of Buildings has issued several violations that remain active as of 2025 regarding energy efficiency documentation, though a recent facade maintenance violation was resolved in December 2023 with a $1,250 penalty.
