302 East 105th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029

302 East 105th Street is a four-story, eight-unit old law tenement building located in East Harlem, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Sachal Sohan. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent concerns emerging in late 2024 including multiple heat/hot water complaints and cabinet issues, as well as a confirmed rat sighting that prompted Health Department violations.

The property has open violations from April 2023 regarding a broken sprinkler head in the third-story public hall and from April 2024 related to an overdue annual bedbug report filing. Structural maintenance issues were identified in 2022, including problems with both the east and west exterior walls, though some violations from that period were subsequently closed. The building's inspection history shows a pattern of rodent-related concerns, with three failed inspections in late 2024 and early 2025, though there were several consecutive passed inspections between 2020 and 2024, suggesting some improvements in pest management.

Other maintenance issues addressed in recent years include exterior painting and repairs, particularly concerning the fire escape and public hall areas. While many violations from 2022-2023 were closed, the presence of open violations as of 2023-2024 indicates ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's age and history suggest typical New York tenement building maintenance patterns, with periodic clusters of issues that the ownership is working to address, though some problems persist as of the current date.
