19 East 128th Street, Manhattan, NY 10035
19 East 128th Street is a 24-unit, 6-story residential building constructed in 1921 and currently owned by Gideon Stryker. The property has experienced recurring issues with heating and pest control in recent years, with multiple complaints about inadequate heat and hot water systems reported throughout 2024-2025 affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. Notably, there have been three heat/hot water-related emergency complaints in early 2025 alone, indicating persistent infrastructure challenges.
The building has also documented several rodent-related incidents, with the most recent inspections in 2025 showing rat activity and the application of bait in response to ongoing infestations. The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene issued violations for rodent issues in both February 2025 and November 2024, although recent inspections in July 2025 resulted in a "Passed" status. The property has been subject to various environmental and safety concerns, including multiple violations related to lead paint hazards in Apartment 12 (2023) and Apartment 5 (2024), requiring remediation under Housing Maintenance Code regulations.
Gas-related safety concerns have been documented between 2021-2022, with violations regarding improper gas meter placement and piping issues, although subsequent inspections typically found no violations or indicated correction of the problems. The building's maintenance history shows regular inspections and some improvements, as evidenced by the passing inspection results and bait applications, but the recurring nature of heating and pest issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that have persisted despite various complaints and inspections. More recently, a 2025 complaint regarding water retention/poor drainage was recorded as active, though specific inspection results are not yet available.
