315 East 104th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029

315 East 104th Street is an 8-unit, 4-story old law tenement building located in East Harlem, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Matthew Vrasidas. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, with four separate complaints filed between February 19-22, 2023, all categorized as emergencies, though inspections indicated heat and hot water had been restored. A similar heating complaint was reported in November 2022, which was resolved.

The building underwent a comprehensive inspection on December 8-15, 2020, revealing multiple violations primarily related to safety signage and infrastructure, including requirements for gas leak procedures, carbon monoxide detector notices, smoke detector requirements, and various missing or defective signs. These violations, while previously marked as Class A and B (indicating the importance of these issues), were eventually closed, with many being certified as corrected in January 2021. The building's maintenance record indicates good overall conditions since 2018, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past 5+ years and consistent passing results in regular rodent inspections, most recently in May 2025.

The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing zero instances of infestation or re-infestation from 2020 through 2025. While the heating issues in early 2023 were concerning, the building appears to have been responsive to complaints, with heat and hot water being restored promptly according to HPD inspections. The owner has demonstrated compliance with various housing maintenance requirements, as evidenced by the resolution of numerous safety sign violations identified during the 2020 inspection.
