106 West 117th Street, Manhattan, NY 10026

106 West 117th Street is a 6-story, 28-unit residential building located in Harlem, constructed in 2003 and currently managed by Lenox Gardens Apartment Corporation. The building has experienced several notable issues over the past few years, with the most recent being a food establishment complaint regarding dishwashing/utensils in 2024, and an ongoing concern about construction lead dust entering apartments reported in late 2022.

Between 2020 and 2022, there were multiple compliance issues, including violations related to energy benchmarking reports that remain active, as well as a significant elevator access issue in 2020 that resulted in an Environmental Control Board violation concerning machine room access. The building's maintenance record shows a mix of resolved and ongoing concerns, including a 2021 unsanitary garbage/recycling storage complaint that was investigated but resulted in no violations.

Importantly, the building has demonstrated good pest control management, as evidenced by six consecutive years of bedbug-free reporting from 2018 through 2025, though there were two isolated incidents in 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 where single units experienced infestations that were subsequently eradicated. Recent rodent inspections from 2023 to 2025 have consistently resulted in passing grades, indicating effective pest management in this area. The property has shown some regulatory compliance challenges, particularly regarding elevator maintenance and energy reporting requirements, though many historical violations have been resolved or dismissed.
