31 East 126th Street, Manhattan, NY 10035

31 East 126th Street is a three-story, four-unit residential building located in East Harlem, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Lorna Forde. The building has experienced several significant issues in recent years, most notably a mold complaint in September 2023, which was investigated by HPD but did not result in any violations. The property has been non-compliant with annual safety inspection requirements, as evidenced by multiple active violations for failure to file External Low-Pressure Inspection reports between 2018-2024, including a recent violation issued in September 2024.

While there have been no reported bedbug infestations since 2021, the building received multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations for failure to file annual bedbug reports in 2021 and 2023. All rodent inspections conducted between 2017 and 2025 have passed, indicating generally good pest control conditions. An illegal conversion complaint was investigated in 2022 but did not warrant any violations. The building's recent activity includes the issuance of two permits in 2023 for unspecified work, one in March and another in June.

The property has maintained regular rodent inspection compliance, with all results showing passing evaluations since 2017. While the building has faced some maintenance compliance issues, particularly regarding inspection filings, the overall safety inspections for pests have been consistently managed, with no reported infestations in the past several years. The 311 service complaint and subsequent mold investigation in 2023 seems to be the most recent significant resident concern, though it did not result in violations being issued. The building's bedbug reporting history shows zero infested units across multiple reporting periods from 2022 through 2025, indicating effective pest management procedures when infestations have occurred in the past.
