508 East 119th Street, Manhattan, NY 10035

The four-story, seven-unit tenement building at 508 East 119th Street in East Harlem, owned by Giselle Sille, has been in operation since 1900 and has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past eight years. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints, with emergency reports in both 2021 and 2018 indicating problems affecting either the entire building or specific apartments.

The building has also experienced safety concerns, with emergency violations for non-functioning carbon monoxide and smoke detectors recorded in October 2021, though these were subsequently closed. An active violation from 2019 regarding failure to file the annual boiler inspection report remains open as of October 2023. The property has faced various maintenance challenges, particularly in late 2018 when multiple non-emergency issues were documented, including problems with flooring, walls, ceilings, and appliances across different areas of the building.

Significant open violations from 2018 concern Unit 2B specifically, including issues with bathroom plaster and paint, foyer repairs, and kitchen flooring. The building has shown recent improvement in pest management, with consistent passing results on rodent inspections from 2022 through 2025. The most concerning ongoing matter appears to be the annual bedbug report filing requirement, with violations noted in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 regarding the building's failure to submit this documentation, suggesting potential oversight in building maintenance protocols.
