42 West 126th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027
The 8-unit, 3-story building at 42 West 126th Street in Harlem, owned by Aline Nealis, has experienced persistent rodent-related issues over the past several years. Most notably, between March 2022 and March 2023, there were multiple documented rodent sightings, including both rat and mouse incidents, with several inspections revealing violations requiring follow-up.
While the building's recent rodent inspections in 2025 show improved compliance, with the most recent inspection in April 2025 passing successfully, there was an initial finding of rat activity in March 2025, followed by several bait applications in May 2023. The property has also faced other significant maintenance challenges, including multiple emergency mold complaints in 2021, which were addressed within a week of being reported.
Historical records indicate a heat/hot water issue in one apartment in 2018, and two active violations from 2019 and 2023 related to failure to file mandatory inspections (external low pressure inspection and boiler inspection) remain on the books. However, the building has maintained a clean bedbug record for the past several years, with official reports from 2019 through 2024 showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. The building's most recent bedbug report for the period ending October 31, 2024, also shows no infestation history, suggesting successful management of this particular pest issue.
