308 East 116th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029
The four-story, three-unit building at 308 East 116th Street in East Harlem, owned by Nasir Sasouness and constructed in 1910, has experienced multiple maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most concerning are the July 2024 complaints regarding flooring, plumbing, and pest issues that HPD was unable to inspect properly, as well as four open violations regarding unfiled annual bedbug reports from 2021-2024. The building has also faced recurring problems with water and heating systems; while a heat and hot water issue in January 2023 was reportedly resolved during inspection, there have been multiple subsequent plumbing complaints.
Other maintenance issues of note include electrical problems (with no lighting reported in January 2023), door and window repairs, and a mold incident in August 2023 that was inspected with no violations found. The building's rodent inspections reveal a mixed record, with rat activity detected in both 2023 and 2024, though recent inspections in 2025 and August 2024 passed. Historical records show several significant maintenance violations being addressed between 2020-2021, including issues with building security, lighting, and the need to post various safety notices.
While some of these violations were closed and certified, an open "Class C" violation from 2021 remains regarding the posting of heating system keyholder information. The building's management has shown some responsiveness to complaints, as evidenced by several inspections resulting in no violations being issued, though many complaints remain unresolved or require re-filing for proper inspection. The most recent accepted rodent activity was in February 2024, though subsequent inspections have passed.
