2119 3rd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10029

The four-story, three-unit residential building at 2119 3rd Avenue in East Harlem, owned by Vincent Garrow, has experienced several notable events over the past two years. Most recently, in early 2024, there was a heat and hot water complaint that was promptly investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, though no violations were found.

The building has a concerning pattern of administrative violations related to external low-pressure inspections, with three documented instances in 2023 (April, June, and July) for failing to file required inspection reports for 2019, 2020, and 2022 inspections respectively, though all these violations were eventually dismissed by the Department of Buildings. In late 2023, two separate food spoilage complaints were filed with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, though both cases were subsequently addressed and closed by June 2024.

On a positive note, the building's most recent bedbug report for the period of November 2023 to October 2024 indicates no infestations, successful eradications, or re-infestations, suggesting effective pest control protocols are currently in place. The building's history shows some regulatory challenges, particularly regarding the low-pressure inspection requirements, but these were resolved through the appropriate channels.
