272 West 115th Street, Manhattan, NY 10026

272 West 115th Street is a four-story, 20-unit Old Law Tenement building in Harlem, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Michael Aryeh. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, particularly evident in early 2025 when multiple complaints were filed regarding both apartment-specific and building-wide deficiencies between January and February 2025.

The building underwent a significant inspection in December 2024 (specifically of apartment 4C) that revealed several housing maintenance code violations including issues with hot water supply, door self-closing mechanisms, bathroom fixtures, and safety equipment such as carbon monoxide and smoke detectors. The building has maintained a regular schedule of rodent inspections, with most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passing, though there have been noted rat activity issues in the past as recently as 2023. The property has shown a pattern of appliance-related complaints in 2025, with several service requests regarding refrigerators and electric ranges between January and March, though most were reported as corrected upon HPD's follow-up.

A Department of Buildings inspection in January 2024 regarding the boiler system was marked as "Inspector Unable to Gain Access." The building's maintenance history shows regular bedbug reports from 2019 to 2025 indicating zero infested units, suggesting effective pest management practices. A structural issue was documented in 2018 concerning wall separation on the second floor, which resulted in a $1,250 penalty that appears to have been resolved. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues, many have been addressed through official channels, though there are recurring concerns about heat and hot water systems that have persisted over recent years.
