108 West 124th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

108 West 124th Street is a 5-story Old Law Tenement building in Harlem, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by the Jewish Board Of Family And Children Services, Inc. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, with multiple complaints filed between December 2023 and February 2025, including both building-wide and apartment-specific problems. Notably, there were four heat/hot water complaints in January 2025 alone, with HPD often unable to gain access for inspection.

More recent issues include pest problems reported in June 2025, though these were addressed and closed quickly. The building's elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints between 2019-2024 regarding single-device operation and inspection compliance, including a significant ECB violation in 2021 concerning a non-working brake switch with a $1250 penalty. The property has demonstrated a generally effective response to rodent control, passing inspections from 2019 through 2025, though there was one failure noted in 2020.

The building's water infrastructure showed some plumbing issues in 2023, though no violations were found upon inspection. The elevator system's maintenance record shows intermittent compliance with required inspections, including two active violations for failure to perform Category 5 inspections and correct defects from 2017. The building has maintained an adequate bedbug management record since 2021, with no reported infestations in the annual filings through 2024-2025. While the property has addressed many of its maintenance issues, the recurring heating system problems and elevator maintenance concerns suggest ongoing infrastructure challenges.
