108 West 111th Street, Manhattan, NY 10026

108 West 111th Street is a 6-story, 24-unit New Law Tenement building built in 1915, currently owned by Armando Rodriguez. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in recent years, with multiple complaints filed through HPD between 2023 and 2025, including three complaints in March 2025 alone. While some of these complaints have been investigated and resolved, many inspection attempts were unable to access units for verification.

The building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections since 2018, though several violations in 2020 related to safety systems (including smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and door mechanisms) were documented, particularly in Apartment 32. Recent building maintenance issues include a sidewalk shed violation in 2024, for which BK Construction Services Inc. was fined $2,400, and several elevator-related complaints between 2018 and 2022 regarding lack of alternate service and door lock monitoring.

The building's environmental control board violations from 2018-2024 show attention to elevator safety requirements and scaffolding conditions. Despite these issues, the building has reported no bedbug infestations in the past seven years, and all recent complaints regarding heat and hot water systems have been classified as emergency situations, though many were closed without adequate access for inspection. The most recent inspection records indicate consistent efforts to address building maintenance requirements, though some violations remain open regarding building systems such as the bell/buzzer/intercom system.
