319 West 116th Street, Manhattan, NY 10026
319 West 116th Street is a 5-story, 20-unit Harlem tenement building constructed in 1901, currently owned by Pedro Pontier. The property has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly with heating and water systems, as evidenced by multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints between 2023-2025, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.
The building currently has several open violations from May 2023 inspection, including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, infestation of roaches, and problems with plumbing at the bathroom wash basin in apartment 5C. There were also structural concerns noted, such as maintenance issues with the bulkhead door and fire escape access. The building has shown some improvement in certain areas, as there have been no bedbug infestations reported in the past two years (2022-2024), following a previous incident in 2020-2021 when two units were affected.
Rodent inspections present a mixed picture, with recent inspections in 2024-2025 passing, but there were periods of rat activity noted in 2022-2024. The property has experienced multiple plumbing and sanitary-related complaints over the years, including recent issues with ceiling paint/plaster damage as of May 2025. While many past complaints have been resolved, the frequency and nature of the building's maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and resident comfort.
