2127 1st Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10029
2127 1st Avenue is a 4-story, 6-unit Old Law Tenement building located in East Harlem and built in 1900, currently owned by Darrell Cannaday. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2024, with multiple complaints filed between January and November 2024 affecting both the entire building and individual apartments.
Most recently, in December 2024, violations were issued for inadequate heat and hot water supply in apartments 2 and 3, along with a violation for a locked boiler room door. The building has also faced persistent maintenance challenges, including door/window issues (with violations noted in March 2024), flooring problems, and various repair needs such as broken tiles in apartment 2's bathroom and defective window sashes. The building's infrastructure has come under scrutiny in recent years, with active Environmental Control Board violations as of 2024 regarding failure to file required annual boiler inspection reports and maintenance issues with the building's exterior stucco and lintels.
A bedbug reporting history from 2021 to 2025 shows zero infestations, while rodent inspections between 2018 and 2025 indicate mostly passed inspections, though rat activity was noted in January 2024 and November 2023. The Department of Buildings has documented several complaints and violations, including a building stability complaint in 2022 that was investigated but no violations were found. The property has an active DOB violation regarding an unfiled 2022 external low-pressure inspection from April 2023, and as of June 2024, there are two active ECB violations related to the boiler inspection and maintenance issues.
