135 East 122nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10035
The 5-story, 21-unit building at 135 East 122nd Street in East Harlem, owned by Charles Gendron and constructed in 1950, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years. The property has had multiple heating and hot water complaints in early 2024 (January), with three emergency calls regarding the entire building's systems, though inspections couldn't gain access to verify conditions in two of the cases.
The building experienced problems with its intercom system in mid-2024, with multiple complaints in June and July, resulting in violations related to the bell/buzzer/intercom system, which were ultimately repaired and certified in August 2024. The building's maintenance history has shown persistent elevator service concerns, particularly in 2023, with several complaints about 'No Alternate Service' and 'Single Device on Property' issues, though inspections found no violations when checked. There have been ongoing reports of rat activity, with the most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 showing passed results, though earlier inspections in 2023 indicated rat activity requiring bait application.
Other notable issues included a water leak (April 2024), a plumbing problem (August 2024), and various door and window maintenance needs (August 2023). The building's heating system required attention in early 2024, with a violation for inadequate heat supply in Apartment 5C and visible mold in the bathroom area. While the bedbug report filings for the last several years show zero infested units, and recent rodent inspections in 2024-2025 have passed, the building's history demonstrates ongoing challenges with basic systems maintenance and persistent pest control issues in previous years.
