11 West 128th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

The three-story, nine-unit residential building at 11 West 128th Street in Harlem, owned by Yoel Berkowitz, has experienced several significant maintenance issues between 2021-2022, primarily relating to building systems. Notable incidents included three emergency complaints: a water supply issue in July 2021, heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building in July 2021, and a door-related emergency in February 2021.

While the HPD was unable to access the property for inspections in two of these cases (plumbing and door issues), the heat complaint received inspection, though no violations were found. Since these incidents, the building has maintained an impressive track record of pest management and safety inspections.

Bedbug reports from 2022 through 2024 consistently show zero infestations, indicating successful pest control measures. Furthermore, the property has passed all rodent inspections conducted from 2018 through 2025, with the most recent inspections in July 2025 demonstrating continued compliance with health and safety standards. The building, constructed in 1910, has shown improvements in maintenance response and pest management over time, though it's notable that three of the four major complaints in 2021 resulted in no violations being found or no access being granted for inspection.
