162 East 122nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10035

The 6-story, 11-unit building at 162 East 122nd Street in East Harlem, owned by Craig Harty, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent months. As of May 2025, there are open complaints regarding mold, water leaks, and wall conditions, all reported in May 2025. This follows a series of plumbing, mold, and door/window-related issues documented in March 2025, with some violations issued and subsequently closed between March and May 2025.

The building has accumulated multiple violations since June 2024, including problems with mold in the 6th-story public hall, bathroom tile repairs needed in apartment 4B, and multiple safety concerns such as missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in 4B, requiring urgent attention under Housing Maintenance Code §27-2046.1 and §27-2045 respectively. The building's history shows relatively consistent rodent control success, with all inspections from 2018 through 2025 passing, indicating effective pest management. While there were some elevator concerns in 2018 and 2019, these were resolved with no violations found during inspections.

The property maintains a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all recent annual filings showing zero affected units. Despite these positive pest control outcomes, the recent cluster of maintenance issues, particularly related to water damage, mold, and safety violations in 2024-2025, suggests ongoing building maintenance challenges that require monitoring. The building, constructed in 2010, has experienced various maintenance issues throughout its relatively short lifespan, with the most pressing concerns currently being mold, water leaks, and safety system deficiencies.
