212 East 117th Street, Manhattan, NY 10035
212 East 117th Street is a 6-story, 14-unit residential building in East Harlem, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Craig Harty. The building has been experiencing significant maintenance issues in 2025, with multiple open complaints filed with HPD between May 6 and May 23, 2025, including problems with doors/windows, walls requiring painting/plaster work, water leaks, and heat/hot water issues. Of particular concern are three emergency-class complaints filed in May 2025 for heavy water leaks, door problems, and wall issues that remain unresolved as of now.
The building has also faced ongoing rodent control challenges, with multiple inspections in 2024/2025 showing rat activity, though there was a passed inspection in July 2025. The property's violation history indicates ongoing maintenance concerns, particularly in Apartment 4A, which has multiple open violations from October 2024 regarding broken baseboards, mold issues in bathrooms, vinyl flooring problems, and defective lock repairs. Previous violations were noted in 2024 regarding fire retardant material and wall painting requirements.
The building's bedbug reports from 2020 to 2024 consistently show zero infested units, though there was one emergency door/window complaint in 2025 categorized as an emergency. Recent plumbing issues were temporarily resolved in May 2025, but new complaints quickly followed. The Department of Buildings records show several permits issued between 2018 and 2021 for various maintenance work, including electrical and plumbing repairs.
