414 East 115th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029

The 4-story, 4-unit Old Law Tenement building at 414 East 115th Street in East Harlem, owned by Ilan Tavor and constructed in 1900, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there is an active Environmental Control Board violation from June 2023 regarding improper maintenance of the building's exterior walls and stucco facade, with an imposed penalty of $12,500 that remains unpaid as of April 2025. The building has consistently failed to file annual bedbug reports with HPD, receiving three consecutive A-class violations in 2022, 2023, and 2024 related to this requirement.

The property has a documented history of rodent issues, with rat activity recorded in multiple inspections throughout 2023-2025, though the most recent inspection in April 2025 resulted in a passing grade. A cluster of emergency housing maintenance code complaints in April 2021 included issues with mold, roof door conditions, and door problems. While many violations from 2021-2022 were subsequently resolved, they highlighted various safety concerns including missing fire-retardant materials, mold conditions, and the need for proper notifications regarding carbon monoxide detection, smoke detectors, and gas leak procedures.

The building has undergone regular rodent inspections, with most showing improvement, though the presence of rodent activity in late 2023 and 2024 suggests ongoing pest management challenges. The Department of Buildings issued multiple violations in June 2023 related to 7R requirements, all of which were marked as "closed" with various dispositions. While many previous violations have been addressed, the building's record shows a persistent pattern of maintenance issues, particularly regarding pest control, facade maintenance, and compliance with housing safety requirements, representing ongoing challenges for the property's management.
