347 East 118th Street, Manhattan, NY 10035

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 347 East 118th Street in East Harlem, owned by Ana Morcilio, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues since 2021. Most notably, there were multiple violations related to bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2024, with the most recent violation recorded in April 2024.

The building underwent unauthorized construction work in late 2021 and early 2022, resulting in two Environmental Control Board violations: one for work without a permit (with an initial penalty of $2,500) and another for failure to comply with a commissioner's order (with a higher penalty of $12,500). This unauthorized work was eventually addressed and closed in 2023. The property has faced persistent rodent control challenges between 2022 and 2025, with several inspections showing rat activity, though the most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passed without any noted issues.

A notable safety concern emerged in June 2021 with complaints about unsanitary garbage/recycling storage conditions, though these were ultimately closed without violations being issued. The building has maintained compliance with recent bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent 2024-2025 report showing zero infested or re-infested units, and inspections have generally indicated improved pest management. While the property has experienced multiple code violations and complaints over the years, the current status as of 2025 shows no active violations related to bedbugs or serious maintenance issues, though historical patterns suggest attention to pest management and maintenance compliance remains important.
