115 East 119th Street, Manhattan, NY 10035

115 East 119th Street is a 5-story, 20-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Melania Cinque. The property has experienced recurring infrastructure and maintenance issues over recent years, with the most recent significant event being a heat/hot water emergency affecting the entire building in January 2025. The building has documented multiple water-related problems, including heavy flow leaks in 2022 and 2023, with similar issues appearing in other service requests.

There has also been a persistent problem with pest control, evidenced by complaints in 2022 and 2023, though recent bedbug reports from 2023-2024 show no confirmed infestations in any units, following a period in 2017-2018 with three infested units. The building's maintenance history reveals attention to various issues, particularly in apartment 3D, which in 2021 had multiple documented violations including water leak problems, visible mold, and plumbing maintenance issues in the bathroom. Inspection records show a mix of rodent activity and successful compliance in 2023-2025, indicating ongoing pest management efforts.

All documented violations have been closed, and recent interventions appear to address various building system failures. The property has shown some improvement in recent years, as evidenced by multiple "No Violation Warranted" findings during inspections, though the recurring nature of heat and water-related complaints suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges. The building's rodent control program has required regular monitoring, with both passed and failed inspections showing a need for ongoing attention to this issue.
