355 West 115th Street, Manhattan, NY 10026

At 355 West 115th Street in Harlem, a five-story, 10-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1900, recent records indicate persistent maintenance and pest control challenges. The most significant ongoing concern appears to be rodent activity, with documented rat presence in monthly inspections throughout 2024 and 2025, though one inspection in June 2024 passed. The building has experienced recurring issues with pest control, evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code complaints between 2021-2022 and an open violation from May 2022 regarding a mouse infestation in apartment 5B.

Structural and maintenance issues have also been documented, including multiple floor-related complaints in 2021-2022 and violations concerning bathroom ceiling leaks, baseboard caulking, and plaster repairs in apartment 5B as of May 2022. The building's regulatory history shows attention to various maintenance matters, with several violations being properly closed, including one in 2022 regarding missing carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 5B. Recent documentation shows compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent filings from February 2024 and December 2024 indicating no infested units.

The property has undergone some permitted work, with building permits issued in early 2019 for unspecified improvements. While the building management has addressed some violations over time, the frequency of pest-related issues and recent rodent activity remains a notable concern, though some structural complaints from previous years have been resolved. The property has maintained proper annual bedbug reporting compliance since 2021, with no recorded infestations in the past four reporting periods.
