242 East 112th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029

The three-unit residential building at 242 East 112th Street in East Harlem, owned by Freddy Santiago and constructed in 1997, has experienced recurring compliance issues with the New York City Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) regarding bedbug reporting requirements. Specifically, the property has received four consecutive violations from 2021 through 2024 for failing to file the mandatory annual bedbug reports, with the most recent violation occurring in April 2024 and all violations remaining open as of now.

While these administrative violations do not directly indicate a current bedbug infestation, they suggest ongoing challenges with compliance monitoring. The building's rodent inspection history shows consistent passing results from 2019 through February 2025, with eight consecutive successful inspections and only one instance of rat activity noted in December 2018, which suggests effective pest management since that time.

A single complaint regarding illegal commercial/industrial use in the residential zone was filed in August 2023, but was investigated and determined to warrant no violation. While the building has maintained a generally positive record in terms of rodent control and has addressed the one significant pest control incident from 2018, the ongoing bedbug reporting violations stand out as the most notable compliance issue in its recent history.
