111 East 125th Street, Manhattan, NY 10035

111 East 125th Street is a 4-story, 4-unit residential building located in East Harlem, owned by Abraham Nir and constructed in 1900. The property has experienced ongoing rodent issues, with the most recent activity in 2025 showing failed inspections and bait application in January, March, April, and October. A DOHMH inspection in June 2024 documented signs of rodents, though no violations were found at that time.

The building's maintenance concerns include an open Housing Maintenance Code violation from 2018 regarding inadequate lighting at the front entrance, which remains unresolved. Approximately seven Department of Buildings complaint investigations between 2018 and 2022 attempted to address suspected illegal conversions and gas utility issues, though inspections consistently resulted in access denial. An Environmental Control Board violation from 2018 noted unauthorized occupancy changes, though this was resolved with no penalties.

Despite these challenges, the building has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations, with zero reported cases in official filings from 2020 through 2025. The property has undergone several permitted alterations over the years, with multiple permits issued between 2018 and 2022 through job number 103420139. While there have been periodic rodent control efforts, as evidenced by multiple bait applications and inspections, the persistent nature of these issues suggests an ongoing challenge for the property management. The building's status shows a mix of recent activity and historical violations, with maintenance and pest control appearing to be the most pressing ongoing concerns as of 2025.
