2127 3rd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10035

2127 3rd Avenue is a five-story, eight-unit residential building located in East Harlem, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Efrain Suarez. The building has maintained regular compliance with rodent inspections from 2018 through 2025, with all inspections resulting in "Passed" status.

While there have been multiple health department complaints related to unsanitary conditions regarding animals (specifically dogs) in 2023, these were primarily administrative matters and typically referenced previous complaints about the same location. Between 2019 and 2020, the building experienced several food establishment-related violations, including issues with rodents, insects, and the use of bare hands in food preparation, though these violations are listed as having been addressed. The building's recent history reveals some compliance challenges regarding bedbug reporting, with violations noted in 2021 through 2024 for failure to file annual reports as required by the Housing Maintenance Code.

A significant boiler-related violation was recorded in April 2021, citing multiple safety concerns including improper flue pipe support, low water cut-off discharge issues, and combustible materials in the boiler room, though these violations appear to have been handled through the Environmental Control Board process with a $655 penalty. An inspection in 2028 established that the building had been "Grandfathered" as bedbug-free, and recent bedbug reports from 2025 indicate no current infestations or eradicated units, suggesting successful resolution of this recurring violation issue. The property also had two complaints in 2022 regarding unlicensed or illegal activity, though inspections either found no violations or were unable to gain access for verification.
