219 East 115th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029

The three-story building at 219 East 115th Street in East Harlem, owned by Colleen Mcentee and constructed in 1900, has experienced persistent maintenance and safety compliance issues over the past several years. Most notably, there is a concerning pattern of rodent-related complaints, with three separate reports of conditions attracting rodents between June and August 2019, and more recent rodent sightings in May 2023 and April 2025, indicating an ongoing pest management challenge.

The building currently faces multiple active violations related to external low-pressure system inspections, with six consecutive years of unfiled inspection reports from 2018 through 2024, suggesting significant oversight of critical building systems. Additionally, there was a violation issued in 2019 for failure to file the 2017 boiler inspection report, though this appears to have been resolved.

A concerning recent development was documented in April 2025, when the Department of Buildings recorded a complaint regarding a vacant, open, and unguarded condition at the property, resulting in an OATH violation served in July 2025. While some historical issues have been closed, the combination of active violations and recent complaints indicates ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges that have persisted over multiple years.
