136 East 124th Street, Manhattan, NY 10035
The five-story, 8-unit building at 136 East 124th Street in East Harlem, owned by 239 E 115th St HDFC, has experienced significant and ongoing heating system issues in 2025, with multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints filed between February and March 2025, resulting in several violations being issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). The building, constructed in 1900, has also been subject to various maintenance issues, including broken window panes in the public hall stairs on the 3rd and 4th stories, a defective entrance door lock assembly, and problems with fire-retardant walls in the public areas, as documented in violations from late 2024.
A notable environmental control board violation from 2020 cited an unauthorized occupancy situation in apartment 5A, which was resolved with a $625 penalty. The building shows a concerning pattern of rodent activity, with multiple inspections between 2025 and 2023 revealing rat presence, though the most recent inspection in June 2025 passed.
While there have been several issues with construction safety and compliance in the past, including a 2018 incident regarding sidewalk protection during construction, these were resolved. The property maintains a consistent record of bedbug reporting compliance, with no infestations reported in the last three years, as evidenced by filings through 2025. Recent maintenance violations include ongoing issues with bathroom ceiling conditions in apartment 4B and several open violations related to hallways and bulkhead areas documented in early 2024.
