14 East 126th Street, Manhattan, NY 10035

The three-story, single-unit building at 14 East 126th Street in East Harlem, owned by Farzin Kimiabkahsh, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, the building has accumulated multiple open violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required under the Housing Maintenance Code, with these violations documented in inspections from 2021 through 2024. The building has also had recurring issues with basic services, including heat and electrical systems, as evidenced by multiple 311 complaints and Housing Maintenance Code complaints in December 2020 that could not be inspected by HPD, though these issues were eventually closed in 2021.

A plumbing-related complaint from December 2019 led to a Partial Stop Work Order in January 2020 when a plumber's license was revoked. Despite these challenges, recent inspections have shown some improvement in maintenance conditions. All rodent inspections from 2018 through 2025 have passed, indicating effective pest control measures.

The most recent building inspection records, including rodent inspections, show consistent compliance with basic health and safety standards, though the persistent bedbug reporting violations remain a notable concern. Historical records also show an earlier standing water issue in 2019 that was referred to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene for inspection. While many of the building's problems have been addressed over time, the persistent nature of certain violations, particularly the bedbug report requirement failures, suggests ongoing administrative compliance issues, though these do not directly impact resident safety or comfort.
