125 East 30th Street, Manhattan, NY 10016

125 East 30th Street is a 4-story, 10-unit residential building located in Midtown, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Jonathan Bakhash. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, particularly during December 2021 when multiple complaints were filed regarding these problems affecting the entire building. While some of these complaints were resolved, the pattern of issues indicates ongoing maintenance challenges in this area.

The building's recent history shows some fire safety concerns, with open violations as of April 2024 regarding defective self-closing doors at the basement level and a broken fire escape ladder rung on the 4th story. There were also violations noted in December 2021 related to inaccessible heating system doors and various door closure issues in apartments 4A and 4B. The property has a relatively clean record concerning pest issues, with no bedbug infestations reported in annual inspections from 2019 to 2025.

Rodent inspections conducted between 2010 and 2016 showed some problems, with bait applied in 2016 and failed compliance inspections noted in July 2016, though previous inspections between 2010 and 2012 had passed. A complaint regarding illegal hotel rooms was filed in 2018, but the inspection in 2019 was unable to gain access for verification. Two building permits were issued in July 2019, though specific details of the permitted work are not provided in the available data. The absence of recent bedbug reports and the closure of most historical violations suggest some improvement in overall building conditions, though the recurring heat and safety-related issues warrant attention.
