425 East 114th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029

The 16-unit, 4-story tenement building at 425 East 114th Street in East Harlem, built in 1900 and currently owned by Laurena Torres, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there was a heat and hot water emergency in November 2022 that required intervention from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, though services were reportedly restored shortly thereafter.

The building had one documented rodent complaint in October 2020, but this was resolved through earlier inspections. Recent inspections show a consistent record of passing rodent inspections, with regular checks conducted approximately every six months between 2018 and 2025, including inspections as recent as April 2025, all of which passed.

The building has shown effective management of pest control issues, particularly bedbugs, with no reported infestations in the past three years (2022-2025). The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, demonstrating a pattern of effective eradication measures when necessary. While the building is over 120 years old, the recent record of passing inspections and reporting requirements suggests improved maintenance practices, though the November 2022 heat and hot water issue indicates that occasional service interruptions may still occur.
