40 West 126th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027
40 West 126th Street is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building in Harlem, owned by Maurice Kohan and completed in 2013. The property has experienced recurring rodent issues, with multiple rat sightings reported between 2022 and 2025, including recent activity in 2025 that resulted in a failed inspection in March.
However, the most recent rodent inspection in April 2025 passed. The building has also faced significant maintenance challenges, including heating and hot water issues in 2023 (April) and 2019, and water leak problems documented in September 2022.
Housing maintenance code violations were noted in mid-2023, including requirements for door repairs, safety notices, and the annual bedbug report—all of which appear to have been addressed and closed by June 2023, with subsequent bedbug filings showing zero infested units and no eradications required. Two emergency situations were documented in 2023 (cooking gas and heat/hot water), though access issues limited inspections in some cases. While the building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 through 2025, the recurring rodent issues and previous heating problems suggest ongoing attention to building maintenance is necessary.
