113 Manhattan Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10025

The three-story, 8-unit building at 113 Manhattan Avenue, owned by Robin Baez and constructed in 1890, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past several years. Notable instances occurred in January 2022 (two separate complaints), November 2019, and February 2019, all affecting either the entire building or individual apartments.

While each incident was eventually resolved, with HPD confirming restoration of services, the pattern of complaints suggests potential systemic heating system challenges. The building currently has an open housing maintenance violation from May 2022 regarding the north wall paint in Apartment 1, while a 2018 violation requiring improved exterior lighting at the front entrance was resolved within days of notification.

On a positive note, the building has demonstrated effective pest management in recent years, with no bedbug infestations reported between 2020 and 2025, though there were two isolated incidents in 2019 (one with successful eradication) and consistent zero counts in subsequent years. The property's rodent inspection results have shown overall compliance, with the most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passing, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in August 2023. The building's maintenance record shows attention to urgent issues, with HPD responding promptly to heat-related complaints, though the recurrence of these issues suggests this remains a property concern.
