304 East 112th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029

The 8-unit, 4-story tenement building at 304 East 112th Street in East Harlem, owned by Nasir Sasooness and built in 1910, has experienced recurring issues with heat and water problems over the past few years, with three heat/hot water complaints in both 2022 and 2023, as well as an unresolved complaint from November 2024. The building has also faced various maintenance challenges in 2024, including multiple service requests in July for plumbing issues in bathrooms and sinks, water leaks, exterior roofing concerns, and ceiling defects. Notably, there are several open violations from July 2024 affecting the 4W apartment, including problems with roofing causing leaks, defective plumbing in the bathroom sink, water leaks, ceiling defects, and reports of a roach infestation.

In September 2024, apartment 3W received citations for various safety concerns, including defective smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, door issues, and mold conditions, though these violations have since been certified as corrected as of November 2024. The building's recent history shows significant attention required for both basic human needs and safety concerns. The property has undergone multiple rodent inspections, with some showing rat activity or other failures in 2024, though recent February 2025 results show passing compliance.

While the building has maintained zero infestation counts in recent bedbug reports (2022), and previous bedbug eradication efforts were completed, the ongoing maintenance issues suggest persistent challenges with maintaining building systems. Upon review of the 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints from 2022 to 2024, there is a clear pattern of recurring issues with heating systems, plumbing, and general maintenance, particularly affecting the 3rd and 4th floor apartments. The most recent building permit application from March 2021 remains in process, though no further details are provided on its status or purpose.
