413 East 117th Street, Manhattan, NY 10035

413 East 117th Street is a 5-story, 15-unit Old Law Tenement building located in East Harlem, built in 1920 and currently owned by Kidara Johnson. The building has experienced recurring issues with its intercom/buzzer system, with the most recent complaint filed in April 2025 remaining unresolved. A cluster of maintenance issues surfaced in late 2023, including electrical wiring problems, window frame concerns, and wall plaster defects, all of which resulted in violations.

More recent inspections in August 2024 revealed several significant safety concerns, including missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 5B, a broken latch at the bulkhead door, and a reported cockroach infestation in apartment 4B. The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2020-2025, showing zero infested or eradicated units during each annual reporting period. The property's rodent inspection history shows mostly passing results, though it did fail an initial inspection in April 2025, with the reasons unspecified.

Various housing maintenance code violations remain open as of 2024, including issues with self-closing doors and emergency mechanisms. The building's New York City Department of Buildings complaint history shows three complaints between 2020-2023, all of which were closed without violations being warranted at the time of inspection. While the building has demonstrated some ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding safety systems and pest control, it has also shown periods of swift resolution to many reported issues, as evidenced by the relatively quick closure of multiple complaints.
