324 East 109th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029

324 East 109th Street is a 5-story, 15-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Martin Kirzner. The building has experienced persistent water-related issues in 2025, with multiple complaints and emergencies reported regarding heavy water leaks between February and March 2025.

These recent issues follow a pattern of similar problems in 2024, including a significant incident of mold and water leak violations in Apartment 6, which required repair and remediation work. The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, including safety concerns related to the fire escape in 2024 (though no violations were issued), and problems with plumbing, flooring, and wall conditions that resulted in both emergency complaints and violations. In terms of infrastructure, the building underwent a Department of Buildings inspection in 2023 that resulted in an Oath Violation, and a September 2023 environmental violation was issued for peeling paint on the facade below the 2nd floor window, though no penalties were imposed.

There have been consistent rodent inspections conducted between 2018 and 2025, with most recent inspections showing compliance, though there were two failed inspections noted in 2022 and 2023. Importantly, the building has maintained a zero record of bedbug infestations since 2019, with the most recent annual reports showing no affected units between 2020 and 2024. The property's documented history suggests ongoing challenges with water-related issues and general maintenance, while indicating successful management of pest control matters.
