325 Pleasant Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10035

The five-story, 8-unit residential building at 325 Pleasant Avenue in East Harlem, owned by Gary Andriotis, has experienced several significant issues over recent years, particularly concerning building systems and maintenance. Most notably, there have been recurring heating and hot water problems, with multiple complaints recorded through 2021-2022 affecting either the entire building or individual apartments, though records indicate these issues were resolved between inspections. The building's safety systems also faced challenges, with violations recorded in 2020 concerning defective carbon monoxide and smoke detectors in apartment 3B, and two annual bedbug report violations in 2020-2021.

A significant current violation exists as of June 2023 for failure to file the 2018 external low pressure inspection. The building has undergone regular inspections for pest control, particularly focusing on rodent monitoring. While there were rodent-related complaints in 2021-2022, subsequent inspections have consistently shown compliance, with the most recent inspection in April 2025 passing without issues.

The property has maintained an active record of timely bedbug reporting between 2019-2024, with zero infestation cases reported in the past five filings. Recent complaints in 2024-2025 regarding smoking in prohibited areas have been addressed by the Department of Health, though the specific resolution details were not provided in the records. While the building has faced various maintenance challenges typical of older tenements, recent records show improved compliance with pest control and safety inspections, though the heating system issues from previous years warrant attention as a recurring maintenance concern.
