318 East 104th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029

318 East 104th Street is a 4-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building in East Harlem, owned by Morad Aryeh and constructed in 1910. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant current concerns being pest management, including recent unsanitary conditions reported in May 2025 that prompted HPD involvement.

Heat and hot water disruptions were documented in February 2024, affecting multiple apartments, though these issues were reportedly resolved. The property has faced persistent rodent challenges, evidenced by multiple complaints and inspections between 2022 and 2025, with the most recent inspections in 2025 showing rat activity and bait application. A comprehensive inspection in March 2023 revealed multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, ranging from door closure issues to safety-related notification requirements, including carbon monoxide detector requirements and gas leak procedures, though these violations have since been certified as corrected.

More recently, there are two active violations as of 2023 related to the failure to file external low pressure inspections for 2020 and 2022. However, it is worth noting that the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past five years. The property also experienced minimal Department of Buildings complaints in 2020, with most being unsubstantiated or lacking violation warrants, though access issues were noted in one inspection.
