26 East 127th Street, Manhattan, NY 10035

The 4-story, 8-unit building at 26 East 127th Street in East Harlem, owned by Doron Kessel, is a formerly converted Class A property constructed in 1909. The most recent significant incident occurred in January 2024, when the building experienced heat and hot water issues affecting the entire structure, though these services were reportedly restored within a day following an HPD response.

This incident followed an earlier violation from April 2021 regarding the failure to file an annual bedbug report, which appears to have been resolved. However, in terms of pest management, the building consistently reports no bedbug infestations in its mandatory annual filings from 2021 through 2024, indicating effective monitoring and management of this potential issue. The building has maintained a commendable record of rodent inspection compliance, passing all inspections conducted since 2017, with the most recent inspections in April 2025 and October 2024 showing no issues.

These regular inspections, conducted approximately twice a year, suggest active management of sanitation and pest control within the building. While the recent heat and hot water issues may be of concern, the prompt response and resolution by HPD indicate that such outages may be addressed appropriately when they occur. The property's overall maintenance record shows consistent attention to both rodent control and bedbug monitoring, with no documented infestations of either pest since 2019.
