The five-story, eight-unit building at 55 East 128th Street in East Harlem, owned by Gregory Daley, has experienced recurring maintenance issues since its construction in 2005. The property has faced multiple heat and hot water problems, with at least nine reported incidents in the past two years, including violations issued in October 2024 and January 2025 that specifically affected apartment 2B.

Plumbing issues have been persistent, affecting various fixtures including sinks, radiators, and steam pipes, with multiple emergency complaints filed and inspected by HPD. Recent inspection reports from 2024-2025 show ongoing challenges, including an active ECB violation from June 2023 regarding heating system access, and multiple Department of Buildings complaints in early 2025 related to boiler defects and gas piping concerns, though some inspections found no violations. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of unresolved violations and recurring systems failures, particularly regarding the heating infrastructure and water systems.

While the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2019, with zero reported cases in recent filing periods, there have been rodent activity concerns noted in early 2025. Recent housing code violations have included issues with self-closing doors in public areas, missing signage, and various plumbing deficiencies. The building's most recent complaints as of 2025 have primarily focused on heating system problems and plumbing issues, with several violations still listed as open or requiring correction according to HPD and DOB records.
