157 West 122nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

157 West 122nd Street is a 3-story, 4-unit residential building in Harlem, constructed in 1886 and currently owned by Emrush Zeqaj. The property has experienced a series of significant maintenance issues in early 2025, with multiple open complaints including problems with flooring, water supply, and cabinets, as well as two unresolved heat and hot water complaints (one for the entire building and one for a single apartment). The building's history shows recurring maintenance challenges, particularly with heating systems, as evidenced by several HPD complaints and Department of Buildings violations related to boiler defects in 2019, including one incident of loud disturbing noise requiring muffling.

Multiple open complaints from January 2025 suggest ongoing maintenance issues, though some complaints from late 2024 regarding flooring, cabinets, and door frames were closed following inspections that found no housing law violations. The property has maintained consistent rodent inspection results, passing all inspections from 2018 through 2025, indicating good pest control management. Importantly, the building has consistently reported no bedbug infestations over the past five years, with all recent reports (2021-2024) showing zero infested units.

While the building underwent multiple permit applications and issuances between 2018-2019 for various work types, recent open complaints suggest some unresolved maintenance issues. The property had some construction-related violations in 2018 regarding safety equipment measures and housekeeping during active rehabilitation, though these were resolved. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of both resolved and ongoing issues, particularly regarding heating systems and general maintenance, with most recent concerns centered around multiple open complaints as of 2025.
