266 West 115th Street, Manhattan, NY 10026

The 8-story, 15-unit building at 266 West 115th Street in Harlem, owned by Josh Koppel, was constructed in 2005 and has experienced several significant maintenance events over the past few years. The most notable incidents occurred in April 2021, when the entire building experienced heat and hot water problems, resulting in multiple emergency complaints to HPD, though these issues were ultimately resolved within a few days.

The building has maintained a consistent record of addressing pest control issues, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years, as evidenced by the annual bedbug reports filed from 2020 through 2023 showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. Rodent control efforts have been proactive, with regular inspections demonstrating mostly favorable results. While there was documented rat activity in the May 2023 inspection, subsequent inspections through 2025 have all passed without significant findings, indicating effective pest management.

A minor health-related concern was noted in early 2021 with two rodent sighting complaints, though no violations were found during the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene's inspection. The building's management has generally responded promptly to service requests, as seen in the quick resolution of the heat/hot water complaints, which were addressed within a few days of reporting. Regular inspections and reporting suggest ongoing compliance with housing maintenance codes, though there was one noted violation in March 2022 regarding annual bedbug reporting requirements, which appears to have been resolved with subsequent filings.
