339 East 118th Street, Manhattan, NY 10035

As of July 2025, 339 East 118th Street in East Harlem, owned by Alexander Berkovitch, is a 6-story, 16-unit residential building constructed in 1900. The property has experienced persistent heating and hot water issues throughout 2025, with multiple complaints filed between January and April 2025, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. While some of these complaints were verified and closed, there were instances where HPD could not gain access to conduct inspections, particularly in February and March 2025.

The building has also faced maintenance challenges, with an open window frame issue reported in February 2025. Preceding these issues, several housing maintenance code violations were documented in late 2023, primarily affecting apartments 4A, 4B, and 6A, including problems with windows, kitchen cabinets, and bathroom plumbing. However, most of these violations were certified as corrected by early 2024.

The building's general condition appears stable regarding pest management, with consistent zero reports of bedbug infestations in recent years (2020-2024). Rodent inspections have been routinely conducted, with the most recent compliance inspection in April 2025 passing, though there was one failed initial inspection in March 2025. Historical records show a generally passing pattern for rodent inspections over the past several years, with most recent inspections showing compliance. The property has maintained an active record of addressing housing maintenance code violations, with most recent issues being resolved through proper channels, though some recent heating system concerns remain a recurring problem.
