427 East 117th Street, Manhattan, NY 10035

427 East 117th Street is a three-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement building located in East Harlem and owned by Michael Warshaw. Built in 1900, the building has undergone several significant inspections and faced some notable issues over the past few years. Most prominently, a safety-related fire escape violation was documented in February 2021, which required HPD intervention and resulted in violations being issued.

Additionally, there was a separate fire escape-related violation in March 2021 concerning flower pots blocking egress from the third-story balcony. The building has maintained an active bedbug reporting compliance history, with no reported infestations or eradications in the past four years, though violations were issued in 2021-2024 for failing to file the required annual reports. The property has demonstrated consistent adherence to rodent control standards, passing all inspections from 2017 through 2025, including most recent inspections in April 2024 and April 2025.

The building's overall maintenance record shows prompt resolution of most violations, with particular attention needed to the historical issues related to fire escape safety and bedbug reporting compliance. While the recent rodent inspections indicate a well-maintained property in this regard, the fire escape and bedbug reporting issues suggest areas requiring ongoing attention. The most recent official records as of April 2025 show no active violations, though there remains a history of recurring compliance issues that have required attention over the past several years.
