215 East 111th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029

The three-story residential building at 215 East 111th Street in East Harlem, owned by Sandra Talavera and constructed in 1997, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past few years. Most recently, in February 2025, there was an emergency heat/hot water complaint that was promptly addressed within one day.

The building has consistently failed to file its required annual bedbug reports between 2021 and 2024, resulting in four open Class A Housing Maintenance Code violations. While the property underwent rodent inspections between 2022 and 2025, showing a mix of results including some instances of rat activity in late 2022 and multiple applications of bait in early 2023, all subsequent inspections have passed. The building's maintenance history reveals persistent challenges with both pest management and record-keeping compliance.

A notable rat sighting was reported to DOHMH in October 2022, though subsequent inspections and treatments appear to have controlled the rodent issue effectively, as evidenced by passing inspections in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The most recent heat/hot water complaint in February 2025 was resolved quickly, indicating a responsive management approach to urgent maintenance issues. The property has maintained its residential classification as a "Class A" building under the Department of Buildings' classification system, consisting of three separate residential units.
