355 East 116th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029

355 East 116th Street is a 4-story, 3-unit Old Law Tenement building in East Harlem, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Bradley Zar. The building has experienced several notable structural and maintenance issues in recent years, most concerning being the ongoing structural monitoring required as of 2023, when decorative stone lintels were documented as missing or loose, particularly affecting 2nd through 4th-floor windows.

Though violations related to these conditions were previously dismissed after repairs were initiated, an active ECB violation exists as of October 2023 regarding failure to comply with a Commissioner's order for an engineer's report concerning structural conditions, carrying a penalty of $2,530. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections since 2017, with all passing results, and has maintained recent bedbug reporting compliance, demonstrating no infestations in the last two reporting periods (2023-2024 and 2024-2025). Recent service history shows multiple complaints in early 2025 regarding food establishment issues, and one heat/hot water complaint in January 2025, though these do not appear to relate directly to the building's residential units.

The property has had several Department of Buildings and Environmental Control Board violations over the past few years, including a 2022 violation concerning unsafe conditions in the basement gas meter room, which was resolved. Despite these various issues, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections, and recent bedbug reports indicate effective management of this pest. The building's history shows regular inspections and reporting compliance, though the active structural monitoring and related violations suggest ongoing attention is required for these specific issues.
