311 East 119th Street, Manhattan, NY 10035
The 4-unit, 4-story residential building at 311 East 119th Street in East Harlem, owned by Simon Itah, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges since 2022. Most recently, two complaints in May 2025 were filed regarding unsanitary conditions related to mold and a slow water leak, though no violations were issued following inspections. A pattern of moisture-related issues is evident, with multiple complaints about mold and water leaks throughout 2024, including one incident in August 2024 involving heavy water flow that resulted in violations. The building has faced recurring pest infestations, with documented pest-related complaints in August, September, November 2024, and most recently in May 2024 when HPD was unable to conduct inspections.
The structure itself has raised concerns regarding its exterior condition, with active ECB violations from 2023 and 2024 citing spalling bricks, mortar issues, and maintenance concerns on the building's east façade. Numerous open violations from 2023 and 2024 relate to failure to maintain proper signage and notifications regarding building systems and bedbug reporting requirements. Historical complaints about structural stability were filed in 2018, 2022, and most recently in 2024, suggesting ongoing concerns about the building's physical condition. While recent rodent inspections in 2024 and early 2025 indicated some level of rat activity, the most recent inspection in March 2025 passed.
The building's bedbug reporting history shows no active infestations reported for the periods from 2022-2023 and 2023-2024. The owner has faced various compliance issues over the years, with multiple cases of failing to certify corrections for immediately hazardous violations between 2019 and 2024. Significant work appears to have been done in response to these violations, as evidenced by permit records from 2020. The property has continued to experience maintenance challenges, with multiple open violations as of 2023-2024 requiring attention to building systems, signage, and general maintenance, including an active ECB violation from November 2024 related to exterior wall conditions with a penalty of $12,500.
