345 East 116th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029

The three-story, four-unit building at 345 East 116th Street in East Harlem, owned by Roberto Ortega, has a mixed record of maintenance and resident conditions since its construction in 1900. Most notably, in mid-2024, the building experienced multiple non-emergency and emergency complaints related to water leaks, flooring issues, and unsanitary conditions (mold), though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) found no violations.

The building has consistently demonstrated compliance with rodent control measures, passing all inspections from 2018 through 2025. Previous concerns from 2019 regarding heat and hot water were marked as "Apartment Only" complaints, which were not verified due to lack of access. The property has been subject to annual Bedbug Reporting requirements, with records from 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 showing no infested units, though violations were noted for failure to file proper reports in previous years.

The most recent bedbug report for the period ending in October 2023 indicated no infested units or eradication efforts required. While the building has had various maintenance issues over the years, including flooring concerns and unsanitary conditions, the overall pattern suggests that most complaints have been adequately addressed, even if not always resulting in violations. The building's historical compliance with rodent inspections and recent bedbug reporting accuracy indicates improved management practices, though the recent cluster of maintenance complaints in 2024 warrants monitoring.
