50 West 127th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

50 West 127th Street is an 8-story, 23-unit residential building constructed in 2005 in Harlem, currently owned by Leaveit Davis. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, most notably a heat and hot water emergency in October 2021 that required HPD intervention. The property has faced recurring compliance challenges related to bedbug reporting, with three separate Housing Maintenance Code violations issued in 2021, 2022, and 2023 for failure to submit the required annual bedbug reports.

More recent concerns include a water retention/drainage issue reported in January 2024, though the inspector was unable to gain access for verification. The building's elevator system also experienced problems in July 2021 when it was reported to be out of service without alternate provisions, resulting in an Oath violation. The property's maintenance history shows mixed results in rodent inspections, with several passing results in 2023 and 2024, though there were failures noted in March and September 2023.

There have been relatively few significant violations recorded, with two notable Environmental Control Board violations in 2021 regarding access to the motor room and failure to submit a required exterior wall inspection report. However, the building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug control in recent years, with no reported infestations in the most recent three reporting periods from 2024 to 2025. The most recent permits on record, issued in 2019 and 2020, were for exterior work, though specific details of these projects are not provided in the available data.
