411 East 118th Street, Manhattan, NY 10035

This 41-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building at 411 East 118th Street in East Harlem, built in 1910 and currently owned by Priyanka Garg, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent months. As of July 2025, there are multiple open complaints with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) from May 2025 regarding heat/hot water, door issues, unsanitary conditions including pests, floor problems, and mold. The building has also faced recurring heat and hot water problems, with emergency complaints filed in May 2025, and there were violations issued for heating system issues in previous months.

Apartment 7 has documented safety equipment violations from late 2024 including missing carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, though these were certified as corrected by January 2025. The building's maintenance history shows ongoing pest control challenges, with violations for roach and mice infestations in Apartments 5 and 7 in late 2024. Recent rodent inspections present a mixed picture of pest management, with three failures recorded in 2025, most recently in June.

The building has active Department of Buildings violations related to boiler inspection failures and work withdrawal from 2019, though multiple complaints about unauthorized work and occupancy issues were investigated and found not to warrant violations in 2018-2023. While there have been periods of bedbug activity between 2019 and 2024, recent filings show no current infestations. The building's age and location in East Harlem are factors to consider, with the property showing a pattern of maintenance challenges particularly related to heating systems and pest control, despite some improvements in recent months as evidenced by passed inspections and resolved violations.
