66 East 126th Street, Manhattan, NY 10035

The four-story residential building at 66 East 126th Street in East Harlem, owned by Laurie Gittelman, has experienced several notable issues in recent months. Most significantly, in June 2025, the building reported two water-related incidents - one classified as an emergency with heavy flow and another as a non-emergency involving damp spots, both of which have since been closed.

The building has maintained compliance with rodent control measures, passing inspections consistently between 2018-2025, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in January 2023. The property has a documented history of bedbug reporting violations, with four consecutive annual notices of violation (2021-2024) regarding the failure to file required bedbug reports under Housing Maintenance Code § HMC, though the most recent bedbug report filed for the period November 2021 to October 2022 indicated zero infested or re-infested units.

The building's maintenance history shows regular compliance with housing codes in most areas, with the only notable open violation being the bedbug reporting requirement as of April 2024. Additionally, a building permit was issued in December 2019 for work classified as "EW." While recent water issues and historical bedbug reporting violations are concerning, the building has generally demonstrated compliance with most other housing maintenance requirements.
