71 West 128th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

71 West 128th Street is a 5-story, 4-unit residential building in Harlem, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Conrad Haye. The property has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, particularly evident in multiple complaints throughout 2024-2025, with several complaints marked as emergencies. As of early January 2025, there is an open complaint regarding the ventilation system, while multiple previous heat-related complaints have been investigated and closed, sometimes without finding violations.

The building currently has several open Housing Maintenance Code violations from April 2023, including requirements for proper signage related to carbon monoxide detectors, gas leak procedures, and smoke detector requirements, along with a Class C violation regarding an illegal double cylinder lock at the front entrance gate. However, the building has demonstrated consistent pest management, with no documented bedbug infestations in the past three years (2021-2024) and passing rodent inspections conducted regularly every six months from 2019 through 2025. The building's maintenance history shows some attention to basic upkeep, with past complaints about doors/windows and sanitary conditions being resolved, though no violations were found upon inspection.

The property has maintained a relatively good record regarding pest control, with regular inspections showing compliance. Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2023 primarily relate to administrative requirements rather than safety concerns, though they do indicate some lapses in proper signage and documentation. The building's heating system appears to be a persistent area of concern, with multiple complaints over the past few years, and current open complaints suggest this issue remains unresolved into 2025.
