221 East 117th Street, Manhattan, NY 10035

221 East 117th Street is a recently constructed 6-story, 12-unit residential building in East Harlem, completed in 2023 and owned by 221 East 117th Street LLC. The building experienced a heat and hot water outage in April 2024 that affected the entire building, though these services were reported restored shortly after the complaint was filed.

Prior to occupancy, the building's construction phase was marked by several regulatory interactions, including multiple construction safety compliance inspections between June 2021 and November 2022, with at least one stop work order issued in June 2021 that was subsequently rescinded. There were also sustainability enforcement work orders issued in both July and November 2021, with similar rescission outcomes.

The building's history shows no recorded bedbug infestations since its completion, with the most recent annual report (March 2024) indicating zero infested or eradicated units during the reporting period from November 2022 to October 2023. During the construction and early occupancy phases, several inspections were conducted between mid-2021 and 2022, with most complaints resulting in "No Violation Warranted" findings, though there was one instance in November 2021 where an Oath violation was served. The building's post-construction period has seen relatively few issues, with the primary concerns being the 2024 heat and hot water outage and the various compliance inspections during construction.
