334 East 106th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029

334 East 106th Street is a four-story, six-unit New Law Tenement building in East Harlem, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by 334 East 106th LLC. The building has experienced recurring heating and plumbing issues in recent months, with multiple complaints about building-wide heat and hot water problems reported between December 2024 and February 2025. Several of these complaints were either duplicates or could not be verified due to lack of access during HPD inspections.

The building also has active Housing Maintenance Code violations, including multiple failures to file annual bedbug reports from 2021 to 2024, and several violations related to lead-based paint hazard control requirements in 2021. Additionally, there are multiple Department of Buildings violations regarding the failure to file external low-pressure boiler inspections between 2018 and 2023, with one violation from 2024 remaining active with a penalty of $3,125. The property has maintained a passing record in rodent inspections from 2018 to 2025, suggesting effective pest control measures.

While there were some concerns about building maintenance in 2021 related to debris and refuse in public areas, these issues appear to have been addressed. The building's age and recent history of heating and plumbing complaints indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly relating to building systems. The owner has made some efforts to address violations, as evidenced by closed complaints and inspections, but there are several open issues that require attention, particularly regarding boiler inspections and the outstanding bedbug report violations.
