127 West 56th Street, Manhattan, NY 10019

The 127 West 56th Street building is a 5-story, 4-unit residential property located in Midtown, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Emily Knowleskellett. The most recent significant incident occurred in April 2023, when the entire building experienced a heat and hot water outage, though this was subsequently resolved within two days according to HPD records.

The building has faced multiple food safety inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene between 2019 and 2022, with three reported food poisoning incidents affecting one or two individuals, and several kitchen-related issues including reports of spoiled food in 2019 which prompted official written notification to the owner/landlord regarding potential violations. On a positive note, the building has consistently maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations, with all recent annual filings (2020-2024) showing zero infested or eradicated units.

Additionally, historical records from 2010 and 2012 show that rodent inspections of the property passed successfully. While the heat and water outage in 2023 represents the only major infrastructure issue in recent years, it stands out as the most significant resident comfort concern on record. The building's food safety history, while notable, is primarily characterized by isolated incidents rather than systemic problems, and most have occurred several years ago.
