28 East 127th Street, Manhattan, NY 10035
The three-story, three-unit building at 28 East 127th Street in East Harlem has had ongoing heating and hot water issues over the past few years, with the most recent complaints occurring in 2025. Between March 2025 and May 2025, there were multiple 311 service requests and housing maintenance code complaints regarding heat and hot water problems in both the entire building and individual apartments, with some violations issued and others remaining unresolved. The building has also experienced various maintenance issues, including water leaks, plumbing problems, and ceiling damage, particularly affecting Apartment 3, where violations were documented in July 2023 related to roof leaks, plaster damage, and defective sink faucets.
Earlier violations indicate concerns about gas safety in Apartment 1, with issues regarding an allegedly improper dryer installation in 2022 that required correction, while the building's heating system access was also a recurring problem, with violations noted in 2019 and 2022 regarding locked boiler room doors. The building's maintenance record shows regular rodent inspections, with several passes in 2023-2025 and one instance of rat activity in 2022. Bedbug reports have shown no infestations in the past two filing periods (2022-2023 and 2023-2024), and the building's elevator and gas piping systems have been subjects of complaints, though inspections typically resulted in either insufficient information or inability to gain access.
The property, owned by Ramon Escobar, was built in 1909 and is classified as a "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A" building. While some maintenance issues have been addressed (as evidenced by closed violations), the recurring nature of heating problems and various maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and infrastructure. The building has demonstrated compliance with rodent control measures in recent years, and the absence of bedbug infestations in the latest reporting periods is a positive indicator of pest management.
