31 open housing-code violations and active roof leaks in a 4-unit East Harlem rental.
For a 4-unit building constructed in 2010, the volume of active housing-code write-ups is concentrated in specific units rather than spread across decades of wear. The roof and upper floor are driving the immediate friction. Three things to know:
Apartment 4 is bearing the brunt of ongoing roof leaks and plaster damage. In April 2025 alone, housing inspectors logged multiple open violations in Apartment 4 covering roof leaks, water damage, damaged plaster, defective kitchen faucets, and ants. Upper-floor water intrusion is an active issue that hasn't been signed off as resolved.
Heat outages have triggered building-wide complaints over consecutive winters. 5 calls for heat and hot water have been logged over the past two winters. In February 2026, callers reported a simultaneous power outage and building-wide heat outage, leaving open calls on file for both electric service and heat.
Curb space within three blocks is heavily monitored for parking violations. 252 illegal-parking calls were logged within three blocks over the last year, primarily for posted sign violations, blocked bike lanes, and blocked sidewalks. Parking enforcement is active right outside, though it rarely spills into the building's front door.
