18 West 125th Street is a 5-story, 8-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1909, currently owned by Joseph Aizer. The property has experienced persistent maintenance challenges over the past several years, with the most recent significant issues involving rodent activity, with inspections in 2025 and 2024 showing continued presence of rats. In September 2024, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found the building in violation of health codes during a rodent inspection. The building has also faced recurring heat and hot water issues, evidenced by a February 2023 emergency complaint, though HPD reported these had been resolved.
Multiple unsanitary condition complaints related to pests were filed in 2022, with at least one violation remaining open as of 2022. The building has a documented history of plumbing and mechanical system maintenance issues, including an active ECB violation from August 2024 regarding boiler problems with missing components and holes in the ceiling, for which a penalty of $312 was imposed. The property has undergone several inspections and received various violations requiring attention to building safety systems. In 2023, violations were issued regarding obstruction of fire escapes and self-closing door mechanisms.
A 2022 inspection revealed significant violations including missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 2, and a bedbug incident was reported in 2021 involving 2 units. The building's maintenance record shows regular inspections and some resolution of issues, with the most recent bedbug reports (2022-2025) indicating no current infestations. While some violations have been resolved, others remain active or were recently closed, suggesting ongoing monitoring of building conditions is necessary. The building's history also includes several infrastructure-related violations requiring attention to fire safety and building envelope maintenance.
