360 West 117th Street, Manhattan, NY 10026

The five-story, nine-unit tenement building at 360 West 117th Street in Harlem, managed by Garden Of Eden Associates LP and constructed in 1910, has faced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. The property has ongoing rodent control challenges, with multiple reports of sightings and signs of rodents between 2023 and 2025, though recent inspections in 2025 showed bait application and compliance inspections.

Of particular concern are active violations related to structural and safety issues, including the failure to address missing steps in an interior wooden staircase between the first and second floors (documented in March 2023), which resulted in an injury requiring emergency response, and issues with the building's bulkhead door and fifth-story access. The building experienced several emergency heating and hot water complaints in late 2023, with violations requiring inspection and verification of conditions.

Additional documented violations include problems with the building's exterior and infrastructure, such as vertical cracks and water damage around windows, issues with the boiler systems (not registered with DOB), and multiple plumbing and flooring concerns. The property has undergone various inspections and received multiple violations between 2019 and 2025, including recent citations in 2024 for failure to file external low-pressure inspection records. Historical data shows consistent reporting and attempted remediation of pest and maintenance issues, with the most recent inspections showing some level of compliance efforts, including bait application for rodent control in 2025.
