315 West 113th Street, Manhattan, NY 10026

The six-story tenement building at 315 West 113th Street in Harlem, owned by Jeff Pikus, has a documented history of maintenance issues and recent concerns that warrant attention. The most recent complaint, filed in May 2025, regarding unsanitary conditions and pests remains open, following a pattern of pest-related issues including multiple complaints in 2023-2024. In 2024, the building experienced several notable maintenance problems, including violations related to plumbing (water supply), heat/hot water issues, and various defects in the fifth-floor apartment (5F) including plumbing problems, wall plaster, and bathroom fixture repairs that required attention.

The building's elevator system had an ECB violation in October 2020 regarding door restrictor modifications, though this was resolved with a $1,250 penalty. Interestingly, though there have been reports of rodents in 2024 and 2023, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections through 2025, suggesting improvement in pest management. The building's maintenance records show regular bedbug reporting, with each annual report from 2019-2024 indicating zero infested units, though a small infestation was recorded in 2019.

Heating issues appear to be recurring, with emergency complaints in 2021 and 2024. Notably, the building has maintained compliance with annual rodent inspections from 2019 through 2025, consistently passing these evaluations. While recent issues have primarily focused on pests and plumbing concerns, the absence of bedbug infestations in recent reporting periods may indicate improved pest management practices. The property has been required to address multiple housing maintenance code violations, particularly in the fifth-floor apartment, though records indicate these were certified as corrected between October 2024 and November 2024.
