176 East 122nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10035

The 4-unit, 4-story building at 176 East 122nd Street in East Harlem, owned by Walter Roberts, has experienced ongoing maintenance issues since its construction in 2010. Most notably, there are several unresolved violations from October 2024 concerning Apartment 3, including issues with a water leak in the second bathroom, defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, problems with closet doors, and multiple instances of damaged plaster and paint requiring repair.

The property has also faced recurring water-related problems, with multiple complaints about water leaks (including heavy flow and slow leaks) documented between October 2024 and 2025, as well as complaints about paint and plaster conditions in ceilings and walls. The building's recent maintenance history includes several concerning events in 2025, with multiple service requests in March and April 2025 related to water leaks, unsanitary mold conditions, and various paint/plaster issues. A series of inspections and complaints throughout 2024 and 2025 suggest persistent maintenance challenges, particularly in the third-floor Apartment 3.

While the building has maintained a rodent-free status in recent inspections from 2023-2025, there was one instance of rat activity noted in June 2022. Importantly, there have been no documented bedbug infestations in any of the annual filings since 2020, indicating effective pest management in that regard. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, consistently passing these assessments, though the presence of multiple open violations suggests ongoing maintenance concerns that require attention.
