78 East 127th Street, Manhattan, NY 10035
Situated in East Harlem, 78 East 127th Street is a 6-story, 24-unit New Law tenement built in 1909, currently owned by Maggie Edwards. The building has experienced significant infrastructure challenges recently, with multiple open emergency complaints related to water supply issues in March 2025. Between March 9 and March 13, 2025, there were several heat and hot water complaints, with some being resolved relatively quickly while others remained open, indicating ongoing temperature control problems.
An inspection in May 2024 revealed multiple violations in Apartment 3, including issues with plaster surfaces, hot water temperature, leaky faucets, and defective bathroom fixtures. The building's systems appear to be facing ongoing challenges, as evidenced by three active violations related to external low-pressure inspections that were not filed in 2018, 2020, and 2021. The property has had recurring rodent activity, with multiple inspections throughout 2024 and early 2025 consistently showing evidence of infestations.
The most recent inspections in April and May 2025 confirmed the presence of rat activity, suggesting insufficient pest control measures. Additionally, the building is currently facing open violations regarding heat and hot water supply in Apartment 16 from 2023, and there are outstanding bedbug report filing requirements from 2023 and 2024. While some issues have been resolved through HPD inspections, such as heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building in March 2025, the pattern of recurring violations and open complaints indicates persistent maintenance challenges affecting resident comfort and safety.
