31 East 127th Street, Manhattan, NY 10035
31 East 127th Street is a 25-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building in East Harlem, constructed in 1905 and currently owned by Alex Yelon. The property has experienced recurring issues with rodent activity, with multiple complaints filed between 2024-2025, including a recent rat sighting in February 2025 that resulted in violations requiring follow-up inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. The building has faced several heat and hot water issues, with emergency complaints filed in November 2024 and October 2024, though inspections were either completed or the issues were reported as corrected.
The building's safety and maintenance record reveals several areas of concern. In 2019, multiple violations were documented including obstructed fire escapes, missing smoke detector notices, and issues with safety equipment maintenance. More recent violations include a 2024 inspection finding defective hinges on self-closing doors at the rear yard access.
While the building has maintained an active pest control policy with regular inspections showing both passed and failed results for rat activity, there have been no reported bedbug infestations since 2020. The property has demonstrated some history of compliance issues being addressed, as evidenced by the closure of numerous violations, though some remain open from previous years, particularly regarding proper signage and safety equipment. Recent building activities also included a complaint about parking lot lights in July 2024, which was found to have no warrant for violation upon inspection.
