300 West 112th Street, Manhattan, NY 10026
The 5-story converted old law tenement at 300 West 112th Street in Harlem, built in 1900 and currently owned by Ari Shalam, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, there were multiple emergency complaints in March 2025 regarding lack of heat and hot water throughout the building, followed by a recent unsanitary condition complaint regarding mold in May 2025. The building has persistent moisture and pest issues, with documented mold problems recurring in both 2025 and 2024, and a documented water leak in 2023.
Apartment 3A currently has several open violations from May 2024 related to bathroom maintenance issues, including problems with caulking, ventilation, ceramic fixtures, and mold. The building has a history of concerning safety violations, including a 2022 fire escape issue, and serious violations in 2020 regarding unauthorized conversion to SROs/furnished rooms, though these were resolved with penalties totaling $15,000. There are also active violations from 2023 regarding failure to file required external low pressure inspections between 2018-2021.
The property has generally maintained good rodent control, with all inspections in 2022-2025 passing, except for one instance of rat activity in mid-2021. Bedbug inspections from 2020-2024 show no infestations. Building maintenance and management practices appear to be inconsistent, with multiple instances of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) unable to access apartments for inspections in response to complaints, and recurring issues with moisture problems and heating systems. The building's history of violations indicates ongoing challenges with maintenance and compliance, particularly regarding ventilation, water systems, and mold remediation, which have not been consistently addressed despite multiple complaints over the years.
