Augrented Insights Report for 242 East 116th Street

The 28-unit, 6-story residential building at 242 East 116th Street in East Harlem, owned by Sonia Perez and constructed in 1910, has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues throughout 2024 and 2025. There have been multiple building-wide complaints about inadequate heat and hot water, with emergency Housing Maintenance Code Complaints filed in June 2025 and several others in earlier months that were closed after some issues were resolved, though access for full inspections was often denied or problematic.

The building has also faced ongoing pest management challenges, evidenced by multiple rat activity reports in 2023-2025, though recent bedbug reporting from 2024 shows no infestations. The building's maintenance history reveals several structural and safety concerns that required attention. In late 2023, violations were recorded regarding faulty fire doors, including issues with self-closing mechanisms and improper fastening, particularly at the first and second-story public hall areas.

Additional safety violations noted in 2023-2024 included problems with fire door refitting and broken fire retardant materials. The property has active DOB violations related to failure to file required external low pressure and boiler inspection reports from 2018 and 2017, respectively, though a 2024 investigation into an illegal conversion complaint found no violations. While rodent activity has been documented through multiple inspections between 2022 and 2025, the building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing no infestation patterns in recent filings.
