107 West 118th Street, Manhattan, NY 10026

The 4-unit, 3-story building at 107 West 118th Street in Harlem, owned by Mike Ma, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past two years, particularly concerning heating and plumbing systems. Most recently, in July 2024, the building had complaints about water leaks, intercom system problems, and window frame maintenance, all of which resulted in violations. Throughout 2023-2024, there were multiple heat and hot water complaints, including emergencies in December 2023, December 2024, and one in January 2024, with some violations issued during HPD inspections.

The building has also faced recurring issues with its intercom system, as indicated by multiple complaints and violations across different reporting periods. The property has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections from 2017 through 2025, suggesting good pest control practices. Notably, there were no reported bedbug infestations in the building during the 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 reporting periods.

A landmark illegal work complaint in April 2019 was investigated and found to have no violations at the time of inspection. The building currently has several open violations as of 2024, including issues with an apartment's ceiling and wall repair, the bell and buzzer intercom system, and a water leak in Apartment 3, as documented in the July 2024 inspections. Additionally, there is an open violation from April 2024 regarding the annual bedbug report submission and a January 2024 violation concerning access to the building's heating system.
