239 East 115th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029
239 East 115th Street is a 6-story, 28-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Walter Roberts. The property has experienced persistent maintenance issues in recent years, with multiple emergency complaints in 2025 alone regarding water leaks (both heavy flow and slow leak), paint/plaster damage, heat/hot water problems, and a safety concern related to smoke detectors.
The building has recurring heat and hot water system problems, as evidenced by multiple complaints between 2024 and 2025, including violations issued in November 2024 for inadequate hot water in apartments B2 and F3. A substantial number of violations remain open from 2024 inspections, including issues with the building's mailboxes, glass panes, locks, and garbage conditions in common areas.
The property has a documented history of pest problems, with bedbug infestations reported in 2022 and multiple rodent activity detections between 2024 and 2025, though recent inspections indicate some improvements in rodent conditions. The building has undergone various plumbing-related issues and violations, with multiple complaints and enforcement actions recorded in 2019, though these were ultimately resolved. Recent rodent inspection results from July 2025 indicate ongoing pest control challenges, as the building "Failed for Other Reasons." While there have been some improvements in maintenance conditions, as suggested by passing compliance inspections, the frequency and nature of recent complaints indicate continuing challenges with building systems and maintenance.
