226 East 119th Street, Manhattan, NY 10035
226 East 119th Street is a 6-story, 30-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Ismene Speliotis. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns centered around heating systems, pest control, and water-related problems. In early 2025, there were multiple HPD complaints and violations related to plumbing (radiator issues), mold, pests, and inadequate heating throughout the building.
Between 2024 and 2025, the building has documented ongoing pest control challenges, including multiple sanitary condition violations related to pests, particularly in late 2024 and early 2025. There have also been consistent heating system problems, with emergency complaints in both December 2024 and January 2025 regarding inadequate heat and hot water. The building has open violations related to rodent infestation (Class C) issued in December 2024 for Apartment 5E, along with other unaddressed violations from previous inspections related to self-closing doors in various parts of the building (apartments 1C, 5E, and 6B) and defective light fixtures.
While the building has maintained regular rodent inspections (passing in 2023 and 2024), recent inspections in 2025 resulted in failures for other reasons. Historical data shows a pattern of maintenance issues since at least 2018, including elevator service problems, debris concerns, and multiple building code violations related to fire escape maintenance. Despite these challenges, the building has consistently reported zero bedbug infestations in its recent annual filings, with only one documented case in 2020 that was reportedly eradicated.
