128 West 124th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

The 4-unit, 4-story building at 128 West 124th Street in Harlem, owned by Kiumarz Geula and constructed in 1910, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, in February 2025, multiple emergency violations were documented, including problems with carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, mold, and various wall and ceiling plaster/paint issues.

These violations were inspected and upheld by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). The building has also faced mechanical challenges, with Class C violations recorded in November 2023 regarding defective boilers, steam lines, and missing self-closing doors in the boiler room, though these were subsequently closed. An active ECB violation as of November 3, 2023, related to unregistered boilers with a penalty of $3,125 is currently pending.

The property has maintained a clean bedbug record over the past five reporting periods from 2019 to 2023, with zero reported infestations. Recent rodent inspections show mixed results, with some "passed" inspections and instances of rat activity noted between August 2023 and February 2024, including the application of bait in multiple instances. The building's current violation status suggests ongoing attention is required to address various maintenance and safety systems, particularly those related to fire safety and building infrastructure.
