This five-story, 11-unit pre-war tenement building in Harlem, owned by Kiumarz Geula and constructed in 1910, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent months. As of April 2025, there are open complaints regarding the building's bell/buzzer/intercom system and toilet plumbing, with similar issues previously reported in March 2025. The building has faced multiple heat and hot water service interruptions, with emergency complaints filed in October 2024 and January 2025, though some were resolved promptly.

More significantly, Unit 2A has multiple open violations as of July 2024, including defects in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, water leaks, mold detection, and various repair needs including bathroom fixtures, kitchen walls, and flooring. The building's maintenance history shows periodic rodent activity, with the most recent inspection in April 2025 passing, though there were reports of rat activity in early 2023. A defective boiler complaint from late 2023 was investigated but found to warrant no violations.

The property has maintained a consistent record of showing no bedbug infestations across multiple annual reports from 2019 through 2024. While there have been various maintenance issues, including problems with the elevator system, stair flooring, and cabinet repairs, these have typically been addressed through proper channels, though some recent complaints remain unresolved as of April 2025. The building's age and history as an Old Law Tenement are evident in its ongoing maintenance requirements, particularly regarding electrical systems and plumbing infrastructure.
