305 East 111th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029

305 East 111th Street is a 4-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building located in East Harlem and owned by William Guerrero. The building, constructed in 1900, has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues over the past two years, with multiple complaints filed through 311 and HPD showing similar patterns of inadequate service during both the fall of 2024 and spring of 2025. These complaints represent a significant concern for resident comfort and building maintenance.

In 2023, several mechanical issues were documented, including a violation regarding a defective boiler with documented corrosion problems, though this violation was later dismissed in April 2025. The building has maintained a generally clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with annual reports from 2021-2024 showing zero cases, though there was one eradicated unit reported in 2020-2021. Despite some rat activity noted in inspection reports between 2022 and 2025, the most recent rodent inspections in 2024-2025 have passed, indicating possible improvement in vermin control measures.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to required filings, though a violation for failure to file the 2020 External Low Pressure Inspection was issued in June 2023. The property has experienced periodic challenges with both heat and hot water systems, as evidenced by multiple emergency complaints and inspections throughout 2024-2025, though many of these complaints were closed without inspections being completed due to access issues. The building has also passed recent rodent inspections, suggesting improvements in pest management protocols. While no active bedbug infestations have been reported in recent years, the building's age and history of mechanical issues warrant attention to building systems and maintenance practices.
