434 East 115th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029
This 6-story, 24-unit New Law Tenement building located at 434 East 115th Street in East Harlem has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent months, with the most pressing concern being an open complaint regarding unsanitary conditions and pests as of May 2025. The property has faced multiple heating and hot water system failures, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, though many of these complaints were resolved relatively quickly. A pattern of water-related issues is evident, with several complaints about leaks (both slow and heavy) recorded between late 2024 and early 2025, and violations related to plumbing and radiator problems.
The building's maintenance history reveals several open violations from a September 2024 inspection, including issues with window repairs in apartment 1D, multiple open housing maintenance code violations regarding safety notices and postings in common areas, and a broken fire escape ladder that was previously cited in July 2024. The property management has also faced scrutiny for alleged illegal conversions in 2020, though these complaints were eventually closed. Despite these challenges, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections, with the most recent one occurring in April 2025.
In addition to the above, there are two active Department of Buildings violations from June 2023 related to external low-pressure inspection filings. The property has a documented history of heat and water issues, with at least seven complaints about these systems between November 2024 and April 2025. While some maintenance issues have been promptly addressed, such as certain heating system problems that were confirmed as corrected by HPD inspectors, others have resulted in multiple complaints being filed before resolution. A notable pattern of access issues is present, where HPD inspectors were unable to gain entry to apartments for inspection in several instances, most recently in April 2025 for a heating complaint, and in February 2025 for an appliance issue.
