125 East 54th Street, Manhattan, NY 10022
125 East 54th Street is a 9-story, 64-unit residential building located in Midtown, constructed in 1977 and currently owned by Daniel Hochberg. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, particularly during 2024-2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed for both apartment-specific and building-wide problems. Notably, there were seven separate heat/hot water complaints between October 2024 and March 2025, with several instances where inspectors were denied access to verify conditions.
The building's maintenance history also reveals concerns with building security and fire safety systems, particularly during 2024-2025, including violations related to self-closing doors and fire door maintenance. Recent records show two open violations requiring attention: one from 2022-2023 regarding external low-pressure inspection filings and another from 2023 regarding cycle 9A technical report submission. Apartment 9D has documented violations from late 2024 concerning unauthorized interior alterations, though several other violations from 2018 and 2023 regarding building systems and safety requirements have been resolved or dismissed. The building underwent inspection for bedbugs between 2019 and 2024, consistently showing zero infested units, and has passed rodent inspections in 2010, 2011, and 2012.
Historically, there have been multiple complaints about potential illegal conversions and transient use between 2018-2024, though these complaints often resulted in access being denied to inspectors or no violations being found at the time of inspection. The property has also faced mechanical and systems issues, with multiple complaints regarding elevator service and boiler maintenance between 2021 and 2025. In particular, there were violations regarding the elevator system and boiler operations in 2023, along with an inspection that noted various burner and safety equipment deficiencies. The building's heating system appears to be a persistent concern, with emergency complaints continuing into 2025 suggesting this issue has not been fully resolved.
