113 East 119th Street, Manhattan, NY 10035

113 East 119th Street is a 5-story, 11-unit old law tenement building in East Harlem, built in 1910 and currently owned by Darshan Chickery. The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent months, with multiple open complaints filed with HPD in June 2025, including problems with flooring, walls, doors, and plumbing fixtures (while these are noted as "non-emergency" complaints, their cumulative nature is concerning). The building has a documented history of maintenance challenges, particularly affecting apartment 4D, including violations for roach infestation, water leaks, and various repair needs (such as ceiling and wall issues, door security concerns, and unauthorized air conditioner installation in a fire escape window) which were cited in November 2024 inspections.

Although there have been multiple emergency complaints in the past year regarding building-wide issues such as heat and water leaks, inspections resulted in either no violations or corrections being verified. The building has maintained consistent rodent inspection compliance, with all inspections passing from 2018 through 2025, indicating effective pest control measures. Numerous work permits have been issued over recent years for various maintenance activities, with the most recent permits from 2020-2021 showing active maintenance engagement.

The property has a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, as all recent annual reports from 2019 through 2024 show zero infested or re-infested units. While there have been several instances of water-related issues (both slow and heavy leaks), many of these complaints have been resolved without violations being issued. The building's most pressing current concerns appear to be the open maintenance complaints from June 2025, which include issues with flooring, walls, doors, and plumbing that remain unresolved as of July 2025.
