3 East 124th Street, Manhattan, NY 10035

3 East 124th Street is a three-story, four-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by 3 East 124th LLC and located in East Harlem. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in spring 2025, including electrical lighting issues, plumbing problems involving bathtubs/showers, and a heavy water leak, all of which were inspected by HPD but found not to violate housing laws.

The building has a concerning history of heat and hot water disruptions, with three separate incidents reported between late 2020 and 2024, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, though these issues were reportedly resolved upon inspection. The property has undergone multiple rodent inspections since 2022, with the most recent in July 2025 showing a passing result, though there were instances of rat activity noted in July 2024 and July 2023.

The building's compliance with bedbug reporting requirements has been consistent, with no documented infestations in the past five reporting periods. Significant violations were recorded in 2021 regarding missing safety and informational postings in the building's common areas, including requirements for smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and gas leak procedures, though these violations were subsequently addressed. The building is currently in good standing with no open violations, and most recent inspections, including a July 2025 rodent inspection, have shown compliance with health and safety requirements.
