23 East 124th Street, Manhattan, NY 10035
This 7-story, 29-unit old-law tenement building at 23 East 124th Street in East Harlem, built in 1930 and currently owned by Smajlje Srdanovic, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges, particularly related to mold and plumbing issues. Most notably, the building has had multiple recent complaints about unsanitary mold conditions in 2025, with service requests filed specifically in April 2025 and subsequent inspections in April and May 2025. These mold complaints were classified as emergency situations, though HPD inspections yielded mixed results, with some conditions found not to violate housing laws.
The building also experienced significant issues in 2024, particularly in apartment 2B, where multiple violations were recorded between March and May 2024, including problems with plumbing (sink connections), mold conditions in kitchen cabinets, and various cabinet repairs needed. The property has a documented history of pest issues, as evidenced by bedbug reports showing infestations in multiple units between 2018 and 2024, with the most recent filings indicating one infested unit in 2024 that was subsequently eradicated. Recent rodent inspections have shown varying results, with some inspections in 2025 indicating rat activity, though other inspections passed compliance requirements.
The Department of Buildings records reveal several mechanical and safety-related complaints, including elevator service issues (2018), gas utility concerns (2022), and work-related violations. There are also active Environmental Control Board violations from 2022 regarding improper gas line installations in the basement, with penalties totaling $15,000. The building's maintenance history shows an ongoing pattern of repairs and violations requiring attention, particularly regarding moisture-related issues that affect resident comfort and safety.
