428 East 117th Street, Manhattan, NY 10035
The 37-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement at 428 East 117th Street in East Harlem, built in 1900 and currently owned by Ismene Speliotis, has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water in early 2025, with ten emergency complaints filed between January and February 2025, though most were resolved or closed without confirmed violations. The building underwent significant maintenance challenges in 2023-2024, including pest infestations in multiple units (notably in apartments 3D and 4E), and various maintenance violations including broken self-closing doors and bathroom obstructions.
Department of Buildings records show several compliance issues between 2018-2019, including improper gas dryer installations in the laundry room, unsafe electrical conditions, and unauthorized renovation work, though most of these violations were resolved or dismissed after inspections. Recent inspections reveal ongoing rodent control challenges, with failed inspections in 2023-2024, though a March 2025 inspection passed.
The building has maintained an active bedbug monitoring program, with reports from 2021 to 2025 showing no documented infestations. While the property has experienced persistent maintenance issues, including multiple heat/hot water complaints and building-wide inspections, many recent inspections have shown no violations. The building's age and history suggest ongoing maintenance requirements, with the most pressing recent issues being the heat/hot water complaints in early 2025 and the pest control challenges.
