48 West 128th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027
The 4-unit, 3-story residential building at 48 West 128th Street in Harlem, owned by Elizabeth Mehling and constructed in 1910, has a concerning pattern of regulatory compliance issues over recent years. The property has accumulated multiple open violations related to the failure to file required annual bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024, as documented in Housing Maintenance Code violations.
Additionally, there are several active violations with the Department of Buildings regarding unfiled External Low Pressure Inspection reports for the years 2018-2023, and an unaddressed violation from 2019 for not filing the 2017 Boiler Inspection report. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections since 2019, with a notable incident of rat activity recorded in February 2025, though subsequent inspections in April 2025 resulted in a "Passed" status.
Two complaints about illegal hotel rooms in residential buildings were filed in 2019, though both were found to be unsubstantiated based on department records. While the property has maintained passing grades in most basic inspections, the persistent pattern of unfiled reports and violations, particularly regarding bedbug reporting and pressure system inspections, raises questions about the building's maintenance and compliance practices.
