116 Van Siclen Avenue is a 4-story, 9-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1921, currently owned by Shliomy Hers. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly related to plumbing systems. Most notably, in April 2022, there was a cluster of plumbing-related problems including a water supply issue, heavy water leaks, and bathtub/shower problems, with some violations issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

The most recent violations as of August 2023 pertain to Apartment 1R, including issues with the kitchen sink waste line, interior painting requirements, refrigerator door gasket, and an infestation of mice, though these violations have been certified as addressed by September/October 2023. Other maintenance history includes a 2019 cooking gas violation, heat/hot water complaint, and a window issue in 2021. The building has maintained an active record of compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no infestations reported in the past five years (2019-2024).

Rodent inspections between 2011-2018 show generally favorable results, with only one failed inspection in 2013. A pressure inspection violation from 2023 remains active, indicating failure to file the 2020 External Low Pressure Inspection. The building's permit history shows some activity, with a permit issued in late 2019, though specific details on the work performed under this permit are not provided in the available records.
