222 East 111th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029

222 East 111th Street is an 8-story, 50-unit residential building in East Harlem, constructed in 2008 and currently under the ownership of Morris Platt. The building has experienced several notable issues related to elevator maintenance and safety compliance.

Of particular concern is an active Department of Buildings violation from December 2021 regarding missing lock monitoring in the elevator controller, for which a $1,250 penalty was imposed. There are also three active DOB violations from 2022-2023 that require attention: failure to file the required FISP Cycle 9B technical report, failure to certify correction of an immediately hazardous ECB violation, and failure to perform a necessary Category 5 inspection. The building has demonstrated consistent challenges with the timely filing of bedbug reports, though the most recent report from April 2024 indicates no recorded infestations during the October 2022 to October 2023 reporting period.

Recent heat and hot water issues were reported in January 2025, though these were promptly investigated and reportedly resolved within three days. The building has maintained a good track record in terms of rodent inspections, passing all six inspections conducted between March 2022 and March 2025, with only one failure recorded in 2019 for unspecified reasons. While the building's maintenance history shows regular attention to basic safety requirements, the presence of multiple active violations as of 2025 suggests ongoing compliance challenges that may affect resident safety and comfort.
