256 East 112th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029
256 East 112th Street is a four-story, three-unit converted New Law tenement built in 1900, currently owned by Jay Weiss. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns emerging in late 2024. In October 2024, complaints were filed regarding broken window guards and wall plaster issues, which resulted in violations being issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).
Subsequent inspections revealed multiple Class C violations in Apartment 2, including lead paint hazards on various surfaces (ceiling, walls, and window frames), defective self-closing doors, and issues with window guards, though some violations related to doors and window guards were later closed. The apartment also faced a Class B violation regarding a key-operated lock on a fire escape door, which was certified as corrected in November 2024. The building's history shows consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with all filings between 2019 and 2025 indicating zero infested or eradicated units.
Regular rodent inspections have been conducted, with all results showing "Passed" since 2017, suggesting effective pest management. Two complaints regarding illegal commercial use and an unauthorized advertisement were filed in February 2023, but inspections found no violations. While the property has maintained good records in certain areas such as bedbug management and rodent control, the recent concentration of housing code violations and safety concerns in late 2024, particularly regarding lead paint hazards and window safety features, represents the most significant pattern of maintenance issues in recent years.
