327 East 109th Street is a 4-story, 8-unit old law tenement building located in East Harlem, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Yine Acosta.

These violations include a pending Class B violation regarding the need to repair or replace defective ceiling materials in public areas. The building has also faced multiple sanitary concerns, particularly mold issues, with the most recent complaint occurring in September 2024. Previous years have shown patterns of heating system problems (notably in February 2021), door and window issues, and water leaks, with several of these complaints resulting in violations.

While the building has maintained a consistent record of being free from bedbug infestations over the past several years, as evidenced by annual filings showing 0 infested units, there have been ongoing challenges with rodent control, with multiple inspections between 2022 and 2025 showing "Rat Activity" in 2022, 2023, and 2024, though recent inspections in 2024-2025 have passed without issues. The building's maintenance history suggests persistent challenges with basic infrastructure systems, though many recent complaints have been closed without violations being issued. The property has shown some improvements in recent inspections, with the most recent rodent inspections in 2025 passing, marking a potential positive trend in pest management.
