250 East 112th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029

The 23-unit, 4-story residential building at 250 East 112th Street in East Harlem, owned by David Blumenson, has demonstrated several concerning patterns over recent years, particularly regarding basic service maintenance and pest issues. The building, constructed in 1910 and classified as "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A," has experienced recurring heat and hot water problems, with emergency complaints filed in both March 2019 and April 2025. The 2025 incident remains notable as it was closed without access to verify conditions.

Additionally, the property has faced ongoing challenges with rodent activity, with multiple inspections in 2024 and 2025 showing "Rat Activity," though compliance was achieved in several subsequent inspections. The health department has responded to multiple food establishment complaints between 2022-2025, including issues with rodents/insects/garbage and improper food handling practices, while the building's recent inspection history includes the imposition of violations for failing to file required bedbug reports in 2022 and 2024. Despite these challenges, it's worth noting that the building has reported zero infested dwelling units in its bedbug filings from 2019 through 2025, with no units requiring eradication or experiencing re-infestation.

The property has undergone regular bedbug reporting compliance checks, typically demonstrating good management of this particular issue. While the building has passed several rodent inspections and compliance checks in 2023-2024, the most recent two inspections in early 2025 found evidence of rat activity, indicating this remains an ongoing concern. The building's management has also faced challenges with accessing apartments for inspections, as evidenced by the April 2025 heat/hot water complaint where HPD was unable to gain access to verify the reported conditions.
