217 East 115th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029
This 8-unit, 3-story building at 217 East 115th Street in East Harlem, owned by Jonathan Bakhash and built in 1910, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years. Most notably, there have been multiple documented problems with heat and hot water, with complaints in 2022 and 2024 marked as emergencies, and two similar complaints in February 2024 where inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions.
The building also faced significant sanitation challenges in 2023, with multiple complaints about pest infestations in June of that year, though one complaint from May 2023 was inspected with no violations found. Previously, there was also a mold issue and water leak problem documented in September 2022, with violation notices issued. The property has an active open violation regarding annual bedbug reporting requirements dating back to March 2023, though previous bedbug filings for 2020-2021 and 2019-2020 indicated no infestations.
Multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) investigations between 2019-2021 raised concerns about illegal conversions and unauthorized work, with at least one environmental control board violation issued in 2021 related to illegal occupancy. While the building's recent rodent inspections in 2025 and 2024 showed passed results, there were documented rat activity reports in July 2024 and July 2023. Various maintenance and repair violations have been addressed over the years, including plumbing, electrical, and general maintenance issues, with most being closed after corrections were made, though some remain open as of 2023-2024.
