320 West 117th Street, Manhattan, NY 10026
The 5-story, 10-unit Old Law Tenement building at 320 West 117th Street in Harlem, owned by Raymond Yu, has experienced recurring heat and hot water system issues throughout the spring of 2025. Between May 30 and June 4, 2025, there were multiple emergency complaints filed regarding building-wide heat and hot water problems, with Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) issuing violations and conducting inspections.
The building's boiler system has been a consistent concern, with three separate complaints about defective/inoperative conditions filed between 2020 and 2025, though access issues prevented inspections in 2023 and 2025. The property has had various maintenance and safety issues, most notably in Apartment 2A, which has several open violations related to pest infestations (roaches and mice), lead paint hazards, and window guard requirements as of 2024. Historical records show previous violations regarding a defective bulkhead door and maintenance issues, though many have been addressed and marked as closed.
The building has maintained a generally good record regarding pest control, with bedbug reports showing no infestations from 2019 through 2024, and recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passed. An Environmental Control Board violation from 2020 related to boiler and gas piping issues was resolved with a penalty imposed. The building's age (built in 1900) and classification as an Old Law Tenement contribute to its complex maintenance history, with many violations requiring correction within specific timeframes under New York City housing regulations.
