235 East 116th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029
The three-unit, three-story East Harlem building at 235 East 116th Street, owned by Michael Ghatan and constructed in 1890, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in October 2024, there were complaints about unsanitary sewage conditions and a slow water leak, though HPD was unable to complete inspections of these issues.
The building has a concerning history of water-related problems, with two violations related to water leaks between 2023-2024, and two violations between 2021-2023 regarding failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules. A pattern of rodent-related concerns is evident, with inspections showing rat activity in July 2024, though subsequent inspections in early 2025 (January and July) passed.
The building's maintenance record shows some attention to pest control, with regular bedbug reporting since 2021 showing no current infestations, and applications of bait in 2022. An investigation into illegal hotel rooms in July 2019 was unable to access the unit for inspection. The property appears to have made efforts to address various issues over time, as evidenced by multiple passed rodent inspections and the recent focus on filing accurate bedbug reports, though there remains some ambiguity in the records requiring clarification via HPD's Tenant Information Messaging Service.
