238 East 106th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029

The 29-unit, 8-story residential building at 238 East 106th Street in East Harlem, owned by Lee Brodsky and constructed in 2014, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most recently, there have been multiple complaints in late 2024 and early 2025, including unsanitary conditions related to pests, water supply problems, and water leaks, all of which were marked as emergency complaints. In November 2024, violations were issued regarding inadequate hot and cold water supply in apartment 8BB.

Previous issues include heat and hot water problems in 2022 (in apartments 2D and others), and ventilation system concerns in 2020, though some of these complaints were closed without violations being found. The building has maintained a consistent record of pest control efforts, with annual bedbug reports since 2018 showing no infestations or eradications. All rodent inspections from 2018 through 2025 have passed, with the exception of one rat activity report in August 2021, suggesting generally effective pest management.

The property has addressed various safety concerns, including violations in December 2022 regarding non-functional smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 2D, which were certified as corrected in January 2023. An ECB violation from 2018 regarding unauthorized work in the cellar boiler room was resolved with a $1,000 penalty. While the building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly with water systems and heating, many complaints have been addressed and closed through HPD inspections or owner interventions, though recent complaints about pests and water issues signal ongoing maintenance challenges.
