27 East 126th Street, Manhattan, NY 10035

27 East 126th Street is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building in East Harlem, owned by Joseph Aizer and constructed in 1909. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2024, when multiple complaints were filed in July regarding electrical outlets/switches, refrigerator issues, and mold problems, all of which were investigated by HPD with no violations issued. Notably, there is an ongoing violation as of July 2024 regarding access to the building's heating system, though several other violations from the same inspection were subsequently resolved.

In December 2022, the building faced heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints filed, though the situation appeared to be resolved shortly thereafter. The building's maintenance history shows consistent attention to pest control, with annual bedbug reporting indicating zero infestations from 2019 through 2025. Recent rodent inspections conducted in 2024 and 2025 returned passing results, suggesting no current rodent issues.

The property has demonstrated some recurring maintenance challenges, particularly related to water supply and bathroom conditions in Apartment 5, as evidenced by multiple violations including inadequate hot and cold water supply at fixtures. Additional recent violations have included accumulated refuse at the building front and deficiencies in posting required building system access information, though these were largely addressed through certification. While the building has experienced periodic maintenance issues, the management has generally responded to violations and complaints, with many being resolved through proper channels.
