149 East 118th Street, Manhattan, NY 10035
The 42-unit, 6-story tenement building at 149 East 118th Street in East Harlem, owned by Ranae Bacon, presents several concerning maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there has been a recurring pattern of unsanitary conditions, with multiple complaints about pests (March 2025), mold (October 2024, January 2025), and a concerning rat infestation pattern, with April and May 2025 inspections showing rat activity. The building experienced significant heating issues in January 2025 affecting the entire building, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection.
Multiple complaints regarding fire escape safety (August 2024) have been recorded, along with issues related to building infrastructure such as window and door frames (October 2023) and water leaks. The property has faced apartment-specific maintenance challenges, particularly in units 1A and 2F, with documented violations including broken ceramic tiles in bathroom, defective vinyl tiles in kitchen, lead paint hazards, and various appliance issues including refrigerator and electric range problems. Two separate emergency complaints regarding door/window issues were filed in June 2025.
The building has two documented boiler-related complaints from 2022, though inspections did not warrant violations. While the building appears to have maintained compliance with bedbug eradication efforts, having reported zero infested units since 2019, the rodent control efforts show mixed results, with several inspections in 2023-2025 indicating rat activity. The property's management has been cited for failure to file energy benchmarking reports and display energy efficiency scores in previous years, though these violations were ultimately dismissed or resolved.
