15 West 123rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10027
15 West 123rd Street is a 25-unit residential building in Harlem, constructed in 1909, currently owned by Ramses Capellan. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with particularly notable problems related to heat and hot water during early 2025, when multiple tenant complaints were filed and access for inspection was not obtained.
More recently, in May 2025, there are active concerns about unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage, and the building has seen repeated rodent-related issues throughout 2024-2025, including multiple rat sightings and conditions attracting rodents despite some passing inspections. The property has a concerning history of maintenance violations, including four active Dept of Buildings violations from 2020-2021 regarding failure to certify corrections on immediately hazardous conditions. There have been multiple documented issues with building systems and safety equipment, particularly in apartment 5A, including defects in smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and the intercom system, though these violations were certified as corrected by July 2023.
The building has also faced challenges with its elevator system, as shown by complaints in early 2025 regarding single device operation and lack of alternate service. Additional historical issues include problems with mold (January 2025), paint/plaster damage (December 2024), and various building safety system concerns such as fire escape functionality and sidewalk shed compliance. While there was one documented bedbug infestation in apartment 3D in 2022, subsequent inspections show no further occurrences, with the most recent report from 2024 showing zero infested units.
