124 East 27th Street, Manhattan, NY 10016

124 East 27th Street is a 4-story, 8-unit old law tenement building located in Midtown and owned by David Magier since 2010. Built in 1910, the building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past several years, with multiple emergency complaints regarding these essential services, particularly notable spikes in problems during 2019 and 2020. More recent health-related concerns have emerged, including an ongoing DOHMH investigation as of June 2025 regarding potential rodent/insect/garbage violations.

The building has also faced air quality issues, with several complaints about chemical vapors/gases/odors in December 2024, though no violations were ultimately cited. Other documented issues include HVAC and plumbing problems, with multiple violations related to heat and hot water systems. The building's maintenance record shows attention to safety systems, though with some violations noted. In early 2021, violations were recorded for missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in Unit 3A.

In late 2019, violations were issued concerning inadequate access to the heating system and hot water issues affecting Unit 4C. Despite these challenges, the building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug control, with annual reports showing zero infested dwelling units from 2019 through the present. Rodent inspections conducted between 2010 and 2012 all resulted in passing grades, indicating no significant infestations during those periods. While most historical violations have been resolved, including various maintenance issues like electrical range problems and water supply concerns, the current rodent-related investigation and recent air quality complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
