245 East 115th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029
This 13-unit, 8-story Class A apartment building in East Harlem, owned by Mark Shakarov, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent months. Most notably, there was a heat and hot water emergency reported in late May 2025, though systems were reportedly restored upon inspection. Multiple open complaints remain as of July 2025, including issues with garbage/recycling storage, building door problems, and concerns about janitorial services. Earlier in 2025, there were multiple water-related problems documented, including both damp spots and slow leaks, as well as wall issues requiring attention.
The building has an active complaint regarding an elevator service issue from May 2025. Historical issues show a pattern of maintenance challenges, particularly in apartment 701, which had multiple violations documented between 2022 and 2023, including problems with water leaks, mold, and damaged ceilings requiring repair. The property has undergone various inspections and permit work, with a notable stop work order issued in June 2019 related to contractor withdrawal, though this was later rescinded. Encouragingly, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations in recent years, with no reported cases from 2020 to 2024.
Regular rodent inspections have consistently passed since 2019, indicating good general pest management, though a rat sighting complaint in May 2025 suggests some recent challenges in this area. The building's violation history shows several open and closed violations from 2022-2024, including issues with plaster surfaces, water leaks, and a requirement to remove encumbrances from hallways. While some violations have been closed through proper corrections, others have been reissued or remained open, indicating ongoing maintenance challenges. The property's record of handling heat and hot water issues, as documented in the May 2025 complaint, raises particular concern about system reliability, though this was temporarily resolved.
