428 East 116th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029
The 22-unit, 6-story tenement at 428 East 116th Street in East Harlem, owned by James Pisacano, has experienced ongoing heating system challenges in recent years, with multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints recorded in 2024, including three complaints in September and another in December. These heating issues were addressed to some extent, with the most recent December 2024 complaint being officially closed after verification of corrections, though the previous September complaints showed difficulty in accessing units for inspection.
The building, constructed in 1900, has also faced various maintenance challenges, including significant violations identified in a 2024 inspection related to fire escape maintenance, with requirements to remove obstructions and address rust and paint conditions. Additional concerns include periodic pest issues, with the most recent reports in December 2023 showing both pest and mold problems, as well as a December 2023 plumbing/radiator issue. The building's fire safety systems have required attention, particularly in September 2024 when violations were recorded for defective self-closing doors in both the entrance and courtyard areas.
While the building has experienced multiple instances of rat activity between 2023 and 2024, recent inspections in February 2025 and October 2024 have shown passing results. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no infestations reported in the most recent two-year period (2023-2024). Some improvements have been made, as evidenced by various violations being closed in early 2025, though several remain open regarding fire safety and interior hall conditions, including required repairs to fire retardant materials in public areas.
