227 East 116th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029

The 3-unit, 4-story building at 227 East 116th Street in East Harlem, owned by Taissiraly Taheraly, has experienced several notable events since its 1910 construction. Most recently, in 2024, there was a food poisoning complaint that the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene determined was isolated.

Earlier that year, the building faced multiple construction-related issues, including a work without permit violation involving electrical installations in the roof structure and an improper wood/steel roof frame structure containing cooking grills and benches, which resulted in penalties totaling $2,050. In 2019, there were concerns about cooking gas access for inspection, and the building is required to file annual bedbug reports, though no infestations have been reported in any of the past five years of filings. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with the most recent in July 2025 passing, though there were periods of rat activity noted earlier in 2025, 2024, and 2023.

The building's maintenance record shows attempts to address various issues, including plumbing work violations in 2019 where inspectors were unable to gain access. While there have been several violations and complaints over the years, the most recent filings indicate improved conditions, particularly regarding bedbug management and rodent control, with recent inspections passing. The building's history shows a mix of construction-related violations, maintenance issues, and successful compliance with pest management requirements.
