226 West 112th Street, Manhattan, NY 10026

226 West 112th Street is a three-story, eight-unit residential building in Harlem, owned by Joseph Kalimian and built in 1890. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past years, with the most recent significant concern being an active violation as of April 2023 for failure to file the 2022 external low-pressure inspection. While the property has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections throughout 2022-2025, including three consecutive passes in 2023-2024, it has faced multiple housing maintenance challenges. Notably, there were three separate violations regarding bedbug report filings in 2021-2022, and in 2018, Apartment 2F was cited for multiple violations including lead-based paint hazards, peeling paint issues, and mechanical ventilation system problems, most of which were eventually closed or corrected by 2019.

The building has maintained a bedbug-free record in its most recent filings from 2022 through 2025, with no reported infestations or re-infestations. All past bedbug-related violations appear to have been resolved, as evidenced by the consistent "0" counts for infested and eradicated units in recent filings. The property has also demonstrated responsiveness to 311 service requests, such as a paint/plaster complaint in 2021 that was inspected with no violations found. A complaint regarding an illegal conversion in 2023 was investigated but closed due to insufficient information.

While the building has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, many violations have been addressed and closed, and the property has maintained compliance with recent bedbug reporting requirements. The building's historical data shows a pattern of paint-related issues, particularly in 2018 when multiple violations were documented regarding lead paint hazards and deteriorating surfaces in Apartment 2F. However, these violations appear to have been resolved, along with various other maintenance issues documented during the same period, including problems with the kitchen ceiling and east wall. The most recent inspection data, including rodent inspections and bedbug report filings, indicates improved maintenance conditions, with the property consistently passing health and safety inspections and maintaining a bedbug-free status.
