370 West 116th Street, Manhattan, NY 10026

370 West 116th Street is a 5-story, 12-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Harlem, built in 1900 and currently owned by Howard Hershkovich. The property has experienced recurring heating system issues in early 2025, with four separate complaints about heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building between January and February 2025, though HPD was unable to gain access for proper inspection in each instance.

In 2022, a significant infestation of pests was documented along with various maintenance issues in Apartment 3A, including problems with cabinets, appliances (refrigerator, electric/gas range), plumbing (bathtub/shower), flooring, and general disrepair of interior elements, for which some violations were issued. The building has also had multiple heating system complaints in 2022-2023, though these were primarily related to the need for updated carbon monoxide detection and smoke alarms. The building's recent history indicates some improvement in pest management, with no bedbug reports since 2019, and the most recent bedbug filings from 2021-2024 show zero infested units.

However, there have been intermittent rodent issues, with several inspections in 2022-2023 reporting rat activity, though recent inspections in 2024-2025 have passed. The building's violation history shows some open issues as of 2023, including a bedbug reporting requirement and concerns about heating system access. The property has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance since 2019, consistently showing either zero infested units or properly managed infestations when they occurred.
