75 West 126th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

75 West 126th Street is a 3-story, 4-unit residential building located in Harlem, built in 1909 and currently owned by Robert Horsford. The building has experienced recurring maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements from 2021-2024, though the most recent reports from 2023-2024 indicate no current infestations.

The property has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections between 2018 and 2025. Multiple complaints about garbage/recycling storage issues were filed in 2023, though no violations were found upon inspection. A concerning incident occurred in 2018 involving unsafe construction conditions, with violations issued for exposed rebar and excavation work in the backyard, though these were subsequently resolved. The building has a history of heat and hot water complaints, with an emergency complaint filed in December 2018, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.

There have been several complaints regarding unauthorized hotel room usage, with inspections in 2021, 2022, and 2023 finding no violations. Construction safety compliance issues were documented in 2021, resulting in a $5,030 penalty related to inadequate maintenance of required onsite documents. The property has also undergone various permit processes, with work beginning in 2018-2021, though several inspection access issues were noted during this period. Despite these challenges, recent inspections and filings suggest improved compliance, with the most recent issues being primarily administrative in nature, rather than involving direct resident safety or habitability concerns.
