2194 3rd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10035
The 5-story, 15-unit building at 2194 3rd Avenue in East Harlem, owned by Tom Shimura, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, with the most concerning problems occurring in 2025. Between February and June 2025, there were multiple complaints about building-wide heat and hot water issues, with three separate reports and two emergency violations filed. Additionally, there were two separate sewage-related complaints during this period that were classified as unsanitary conditions.
Other maintenance issues in 2025 included problems with door frames and water supply, though some of these complaints were either resolved or could not be verified due to inspection access issues. The building has faced ongoing challenges with pest control, as evidenced by multiple complaints about pests in 2025 and a specific violation concerning a roach infestation in apartment 4D issued in September 2024. The property's maintenance history also reveals several safety and compliance concerns, including open violations from 2022 regarding blocked fire escape egress caused by flower pots and household items on both the 2nd and 4th-story balconies.
Other violations include a 2021 issue with access to the heating system boiler room door and a 2022 complaint about broken glass panes in the building entrance door. On a positive note, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections over the past year, with the most recent inspection in June 2025 showing compliance. The bedbug reporting system indicates no infestations in the past three reporting periods (2022-2024), though there was an annual filing requirement noted in 2023 and 2024. The building's age (built in 1910) and persistent maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and infrastructure, though some recent complaints have been resolved or required re-filing for proper inspection access.
