420 East 115th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029

420 East 115th Street is a 4-unit, 4-story old-law tenement building located in East Harlem, owned by Isa Brija and constructed in 1900. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, most notably a concerning situation in late 2024 when it was classified as a "stalled construction site" with open access points that presented security and safety risks. This led to an Environmental Control Board violation with a $1,250 penalty for failure to maintain the building in a code-compliant manner, and there remains an active DOB violation requiring immediate sealing of openings at the rear of the property.

The building's heating and hot water systems required emergency attention in June 2025, indicating ongoing infrastructure challenges. The property has a documented history of rodent activity, particularly in 2023-2024, with multiple inspections showing rat activity and the need for bait application. While the most recent rodent inspections in April 2025 and October 2024 passed, the building's pest management history shows notable inconsistency.

The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2022, with no reported infestations in the past three years. Multiple housing maintenance code violations have been issued, though these seem primarily related to administrative requirements rather than active infestations. The building's complaint history includes a series of bedbug reporting violations between 2021-2023, and two more recent complaints about vacant/open conditions and construction-related issues, though most of these complaints were ultimately closed with no violations warranted at the time of inspection.
