5 West 125th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027
The 6-story mixed-use building at 5 West 125th Street in Harlem, owned by Milton Sonneberg, has experienced several maintenance issues since its construction in 2014. Most recently, between 2023-2024, the building faced multiple non-emergency complaints regarding flooring/stairs, intercom systems, and pest issues, none of which resulted in violations following HPD inspections. There have been recurring elevator problems, with persistent "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service" complaints between 2019 and 2024, though most recent complaints in 2024 were not substantiated during inspections.
The property has experienced periodic heat and hot water supply issues, with complaints in 2019 (entire building) and 2021 (apartment only), along with documented pest activity in 2023-2024 and rodent inspection failures. The building's maintenance history shows three consecutive years (2021-2023) of failing to file required bedbug reports, though recent filings from 2022-2023 show no infested units were reported. There have also been multiple Environmental Control Board violations related to elevator and phone system issues in late 2020, resulting in penalties, though these were resolved.
The property faced several inspection violations for failing to file required periodic inspection reports between 2019-2023 for various systems, including boiler, elevator, and benchmarking reports, though these were ultimately dismissed. A recent rodent inspection in March 2025 passed, following some previous compliance failures in 2024, indicating ongoing pest management efforts. The building received a permit issuance in August 2024, suggesting continued maintenance and regulation compliance efforts by the management.
