304 West 115th Street, Manhattan, NY 10026

The 9-story, 15-unit residential building at 304 West 115th Street in Harlem, owned by Kosha Diaz, has experienced several notable issues over its relatively short history since construction in 2004. Most recently, the building has demonstrated ongoing rodent management challenges, with multiple rat activity reports in late 2023 and early 2024, though inspections as recent as March 2025 show passed results.

The building has maintained a clean record in terms of bedbug infestations, with the most recent reporting period from November 2023 to October 2024 showing zero infested units. Significant mechanical and safety concerns have been documented, including an active elevator violation from September 2019 regarding uncorrected defects from a 2017 inspection. Construction-related issues were notable in 2021, with several complaints about sidewalk scaffolding and construction practices, though inspections generally found no violations at the time of review.

The property has also faced sanitary challenges, with complaints in 2021 regarding garbage/recycling storage conditions, though HPD apparently could not gain access to verify these claims. More recently, there was a food establishment complaint in late 2022 regarding pests and garbage, which was subsequently addressed. The building has undergone multiple work permit approvals between 2020-2021, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvements to the property.
