321 East 108th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029

The 6-story, 36-unit residential building at 321 East 108th Street in East Harlem, owned by Magdalena Kosz, was constructed in 1940 as a New Law Tenement. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, with the most recent being a power outage in June 2024. In 2023, multiple complaints were recorded and subsequently investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), including plumbing issues with bathtubs/showers and floor problems, as well as concerning reports of mold and window frame issues, though no violations were ultimately issued for these complaints.

A cluster of violations was documented in mid-2023 related to Apartment 3A, including concerns about window guards, door self-closing mechanisms, and missing safety equipment such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, all of which were certified as corrected by July 2023. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of plumbing-related issues, particularly regarding toilets, with multiple complaints recorded in 2021. The property has demonstrated good pest management, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years, as evidenced by regular bedbug reporting showing zero infested units.

Rodent inspections have generally been successful, with the most recent inspection in May 2025 passing, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in May 2021. Two permits were issued in September 2018 for unspecified work (PL and EW types) under job number 123531721. The building's maintenance record suggests regular monitoring and response to issues, though the concentration of violations in Apartment 3A in mid-2023 indicated a period requiring particular attention to safety and habitability standards.
