302 West 112th Street, Manhattan, NY 10026

302 West 112th Street is a 5-story, 10-unit "New Law Tenement" building located in Harlem and owned by Scott Castellano since 1910. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, with multiple HPD complaints between 2024-2025 reporting inadequate heat or hot water in both individual apartments and throughout the building. In February 2024, a violation was issued confirming inadequate heat and hot water conditions, though some complaints were closed due to lack of access for inspection.

The property also has several documented maintenance issues, including open violations from October 2023 for bathroom mold and various plumbing concerns, as well as a 2024 violation for a locked boiler room door limiting access to the heating system. The building's plumbing infrastructure has been problematic, with multiple HPD complaints and violations related to water supply issues. Recent concerns from June 2025 include multiple housing maintenance code complaints related to heat/hot water, unsanitary conditions, and door/window issues.

A 2023 Department of Buildings inspection noted problems with the building's vestibule door and front gate, resulting in an active ECB violation with a penalty. While the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2020, rodent inspections show a pattern of activity, with the most recent inspection in June 2025 passing, though previous inspections in 2024 indicated rat activity and required bait applications. The building's maintenance history shows both recurring heating system challenges and various plumbing and sanitation issues that have required multiple inspections and complaints to address, with some violations remaining open as of October 2023.
