27 East 129th Street, Manhattan, NY 10035

The three-story, four-unit residential building at 27 East 129th Street in East Harlem, owned by Paul Moore, has demonstrated a mix of maintenance challenges and compliance achievements since its 1900 construction. Most recently, in November 2024, there was a heat and hot water emergency reported for the entire building, though housing authorities were unable to access the property for inspection.

The building has required multiple bedbug violation notices between 2021-2024, though all violations were properly closed, and recent filings for 2022-2023 indicate no active infestations. Notably, there was a plumbing issue with a basin/sink in March 2019, which was investigated but resulted in no violations. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with most results showing compliance and passing scores between 2018-2025.

However, there was one instance of "Rat Activity" recorded in September 2024. The building's recent history shows a concerning pattern of heating system issues, as evidenced by the 2024 complaint, which follows a concerning trend of heat-related complaints and violations in previous years. While the building has maintained appropriate reporting and inspection requirements for pest control and rodent management, the infrastructure issues related to heat and hot water appear to be an ongoing concern requiring monitoring and attention.
