217 West 115th Street, Manhattan, NY 10026

The ten-unit, five-story old law tenement building at 217 West 115th Street in Harlem, owned by Chase Horman and constructed in 1900, has shown generally good maintenance records over recent years. Most notably, there have been no bedbug infestations reported in the past seven years (2019-2025), with all annual reports showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units.

The building has maintained a perfect pass record for rodent inspections, successfully passing all ten inspections conducted from 2018 through 2025. The most significant issues in recent history revolve around safety concerns reported in 2020 regarding broken or missing window guards, which were promptly inspected and closed without violations. More serious safety violations were identified during an August 2020 inspection concerning roof access issues, including a defective self-closing door and an illegal locking device at the 5th story bulkhead door.

These violation notices were classified as "C" (immediately hazardous) and, while they were closed in the system, it's unclear from the record whether they were fully addressed. In 2023, there were two notable incidents - one regarding Local Law 188/17 compliance inspections where the inspector was unable to gain access, and another complaint about work without a permit, though no violations were found at the time of inspection. While these compliance issues suggest some areas of concern, they were either resolved or did not warrant violations.
