44 West 128th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

44 West 128th Street is a modern 5-story, 8-unit residential building located in Harlem, constructed in 2018 and currently owned by Maurice Kohan. The building experienced significant regulatory activity in its early years, particularly throughout 2019, with multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints and violations.

These included several construction safety compliance actions, with one instance requiring an Oath Violation to be served in September 2019, and another resulting in a Stop Work Order that was fully rescinded. During this period, there were also complaints regarding illegal activity and construction work contrary to approved plans, though inspections found no violations at that time. The building received multiple violations for failing to certify corrections on immediately hazardous conditions throughout 2018-2019, though these were subsequently dismissed between January and July 2020.

More recent records from 2022 through 2025 show no significant resident health or safety issues, with the bedbug reports indicating zero infestation cases during the past three reporting periods from November 2022 through October 2024. The most recent inspection period (2023-2024) confirms the absence of bedbug issues in any units, continuing a pattern of pest-free conditions established in previous years. While the building's early history showed considerable regulatory scrutiny and required multiple corrections, the property has maintained compliance with health and safety regulations in recent years, with no recorded 311 complaints or bedbug incidents since 2019.
