462 East 115th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029
The 20-unit, 5-story tenement building at 462 East 115th Street in East Harlem, owned by Rafael Baez, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues between 2022 and 2025, with the most recent complaint occurring in May 2025 affecting the entire building. The building has also faced indoor air quality concerns in April 2025, with multiple complaints about chemical vapors, though these were found to be related to previous complaints. A significant number of heat-related complaints were documented in December 2022, with multiple reports filed over several days, though HPD often could not gain access to verify the conditions.
The property shows persistent maintenance challenges, including several open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements as of 2024, and two open violations from a July 2022 inspection regarding fire retardant plaster and ceiling paint on the 5th story. Notably, an inspection of Apartment 2B in 2021 revealed multiple issues including door and ceiling conditions, with one violation (regarding rotted wood floor near radiator) remaining open. A complaint about illegal hotel rooms in the building was filed in July 2022, but inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.
Regarding pest management, the building had a comprehensive bedbug reporting showing zero active units as of 2021 with 18 previously infested units treated. Recent rodent inspections in 2024-2025 show multiple bait applications with varying results, though the most recent inspection in April 2025 passed. The building's record indicates ongoing challenges with basic services and maintenance compliance, particularly regarding heating systems and compliance with housing maintenance codes. While some issues have been resolved, others remain open or show recurring patterns, particularly around heat and hot water provision.
