2117 3rd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10029

The 6-story, 8-unit residential building at 2117 3rd Avenue in East Harlem, owned by Rami Noy, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple rodent-related complaints in 2023, with four confirmed rat sightings and one report of rodent signs between July and August 2023.

A mold-related complaint was filed in August 2023, though no violations were issued following inspection. The building has a history of emergency heat and hot water complaints, including incidents in 2018 and 2020, as well as various sanitary condition issues including garbage/recycling storage concerns documented in 2018. The building's maintenance history reveals several open violations from a September 2018 inspection, including water leaks in the first-story public hall, improper garbage storage, and defective fire retardant materials at the ceiling.

While the property has consistently passed recent rodent inspections in 2022-2025, the building's bedbug reports from 2019-2024 show zero infestations or eradications, suggesting effective pest management. The property owner has demonstrated compliance with annual bedbug reporting requirements, though a violation for not filing the annual report was issued in February 2022. Numerous repairs and improvements were documented between 2018-2019, including cleaning of floors and stairs, addressing fire safety concerns, and proper storage of waste receptacles, indicating ongoing maintenance efforts.
