18 East 126th Street, Manhattan, NY 10035
18 East 126th Street is a 3-story, 4-unit residential building in East Harlem, owned by Nina Day and constructed in 1909. The building has experienced significant heating system issues in early 2025, with multiple complaints (10 in total from February to March 2025) regarding lack of heat/hot water affecting the entire building.
Several of these complaints were closed without proper access for inspection, while at least one resulted in violations. The building's boiler system has also been problematic, with two complaints in 2024-2025 about defective/inoperative conditions, one resulting in an Environmental Control Board violation in March 2024 regarding an unregistered Peerless boiler, with an active penalty of $655. The second-floor apartment (Apartment 2) has multiple open violations from a July 2024 inspection, including issues with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, electrical outlets, water leaks, door problems, ceiling repairs, and a roach infestation.
More recent complaints in 2025-2024 have been made regarding egress concerns, though inspections found no violations at that time. While the building has passed multiple rodent inspections from 2020 to 2025 and shows no current bedbug issues (recent filings in 2025, 2024, and 2023 show zero infested units), the ongoing heating system problems and multiple open violations in Apartment 2 indicate significant maintenance challenges. The property also has two active DOB violations from June 2023 for failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2018 and 2019.
