260 East 125th Street, Manhattan, NY 10035
The five-story, 19-unit tenement building at 260 East 125th Street in East Harlem, owned by Lisseny Bastien, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly concerning building systems and infrastructure. Most notably, there have been recurring heat and hot water problems in 2023, with multiple emergency complaints filed in September 2023, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection.
The building has a documented history of water-related issues, with multiple emergency water leak complaints between 2019 and 2020, including heavy flow leaks that resulted in violations. Recent violations from 2024 indicate ongoing maintenance concerns, including open violations in apartments 2C and 3C related to self-closing door issues, as well as a 2023 violation regarding a defective fire escape ladder. The building's mechanical systems have also faced challenges, with an active Environmental Control Board violation from February 2023 describing multiple boiler-related issues, including a leaking safety relief valve and corroded piping at the hot water storage tank.
There are concerning patterns of rodent activity as evidenced by multiple inspections and bait applications between 2024 and 2025, with the most recent inspections showing rat activity in April and May 2025. While the building has maintained an active bedbug report history showing no infestations from 2020 through 2025, the persistence of other maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and pest control. Recent DOB violations regarding failure to file external low-pressure inspections in 2023 and 2020 remain active.
