205 East 117th Street, Manhattan, NY 10035

The four-story, two-family house at 205 East 117th Street in East Harlem, owned by Yael Choukroun, was built in 1890 and has had a documented history of plumbing-related issues, most notably in July 2022 when multiple violations were recorded in Apartment 2 regarding inadequate water supply. These violations, all occurring during HPD inspections on July 28, 2022, affected various fixtures including the kitchen sink, bathroom bathtub, bathroom washbasin, and kitchen hot water system, with some classified as Class B and Class C violations.

The building has demonstrated ongoing maintenance attention, as evidenced by satisfactory rodent inspection results in recent years (2023-2025), though there was one instance of rat activity noted in May 2023. The property's maintenance record shows a generally positive trend in recent years, with regular rodent inspections consistently passing since May 2023. The building underwent an investigation for illegal electrical modifications in August 2022, which resulted in a violation related to an electromagnetic locking device at the lobby entrance.

Most recently, bedbug inspections in 2025 indicated no infestation issues for the reporting period from November 2023 to October 2024. While the building has experienced multiple violations in the past, particularly in 2022, most have been addressed and closed, with the most recent documented issues being primarily related to past water supply problems rather than current habitability concerns. The only documented building complaint from 2018 regarding unauthorized after-hours work did not result in any violations upon inspection.
