31 West 126th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027
31 West 126th Street is a 3-story, 8-unit residential building in Harlem, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Daniel Blanco. The building has faced recurring maintenance challenges, with the most pressing issues being rodent infestations and heat/hot water outages. Most recently, in June 2025, the building was found to have rat activity during a compliance inspection, following several documented rodent presence issues throughout 2024-2025.
The building has experienced multiple heat and hot water emergencies, with documented complaints in 2024, 2022, and 2021, though HPD inspections often failed to gain access for verification. The property also experienced garbage storage issues in 2024, with an inspector unable to access the building for verification. The building's environmental history shows some structural concerns, with violations noted in 2018 for a stuck roof hatch door and in 2022 for inadequate fire stopping in various building areas, though these were eventually resolved.
Regular bedbug reporting from 2021 to present shows no infestations have been recorded. The property has undergone semi-annual homeless shelter inspections, with most recent inspections in 2024-2025 finding no violations warranting penalties. Rodent control continues to be a significant issue, with multiple inspections showing rat activity or other failures in 2025, despite some inspections passing. The building's maintenance records show recurring issues with access during inspections, particularly for heat/hot water and unsanitary conditions, suggesting communication challenges between management and regulatory agencies.
