Augrented Insights Report for 236 East 118th Street

The 5-story, 10-unit residential building at 236 East 118th Street in East Harlem, owned by Herman Rubin, has experienced several maintenance challenges since 2022, with particular emphasis on plumbing issues and sanitary conditions. As of December 2024, there is an open plumbing complaint regarding a radiator, following a pattern of plumbing-related issues including toilet problems in 2022 and 2023.

The property has faced recurring pest management challenges, evidenced by multiple rodent complaints between 2023 and 2025, with recent inspections in late 2024 showing rat activity. Sanitary conditions have been a persistent concern, with multiple violations related to garbage/recycling storage and various building infrastructure maintenance needs. The building's safety systems and infrastructure have required attention, with several Housing Maintenance Code violations identified in 2024, including concerns about fire escape accessibility and door functionality.

Recent inspections have shown some improvements, such as passing the rodent inspection in May 2025, though previous inspections throughout 2023-2024 consistently indicated rat activity. The property has maintained a relatively stable record regarding bedbugs, with only one reported case in 2023-2024, which was successfully eradicated, and no reported infestations in the most recent two years. While many of the historical violations have been addressed and closed, the building continues to face challenges with basic infrastructure maintenance, as evidenced by recent plumbing and sanitary complaints that remain unresolved or required multiple interventions.
