48 East 126th Street, Manhattan, NY 10035
The three-story, four-unit residential building at 48 East 126th Street in East Harlem, owned by Albert Gordon, has been standing since 1909 and is classified as an Existing Class A property. The building has experienced recurring rodent-related issues over recent years, with multiple complaints filed with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) between 2019 and 2020, though most of these resulted in inspections that found no violations.
The property has undergone several rodent inspections throughout 2022-2025, with the most recent inspection in July 2025 passing, though there were instances of rat activity noted in January and July 2024. Of particular concern, the building has four open Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements from 2021-2024, with all four violations citing failure to file the required annual bedbug report as per HPD rules.
These violations remain open as of the most recent inspection data available (2024-2025), suggesting ongoing non-compliance with this particular maintenance requirement. Despite generally passing rodent inspections in recent years, the building's persistent issues with both rodent sightings and bedbug reporting violations indicate areas of concern for resident health and safety that have remained largely unaddressed over multiple years.
