422 East 115th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029

The 4-story, 8-unit residential building at 422 East 115th Street in East Harlem, owned by Richard Winslow, has experienced persistent heating and hot water system issues over the past year. Between October 2024 and March 2025, there were ten documented complaints regarding heat and hot water problems, with several building-wide issues reported. Notably, in December 2024, violations were issued pertaining to inadequate heat and hot water supply in apartments 3A and 4B, and a separate violation for a locked boiler room door restricting access to the heating system.

The building's maintenance history shows three prior heat and hot water-related violations in 2023, along with bedbug incidents in 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 that were subsequently resolved. More recent concerns include an electrical wiring complaint in May 2025 that could not be fully investigated due to access issues. Despite the heating and hot water challenges, the building has maintained a good record in other areas, passing multiple rodent inspections between 2018 and 2025, and providing regular bedbug reports with no current infestations documented.

The property has shown efforts to address maintenance issues, as evidenced by the issuance of electrical work permits in August 2018. Of particular note is the recent pattern of complaints, with identical issues being reported by multiple tenants and generally requiring repeated service requests before resolution, suggesting potential systemic problems with the building's heating infrastructure. The most recent bedbug reports from 2023-2024 indicate successful management of this issue, with no documented infestations in the past three reporting periods.
