150 West 124th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

The 9-story residential building at 150 West 124th Street in Harlem, owned by Laura Grund and built in 2008, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past few years. Most significantly, there was a series of heat and hot water violations affecting multiple floors in January 2023 (including apartments 4B, 5D, and 6B), along with pest-related complaints in both 2022 and 2023 that could not be inspected due to access issues. The building's infrastructure encountered various problems in 2023, including power outages and plumbing issues with sinks and toilets in March, though no violations were issued following these inspections.

More recently, in 2024, the building received several active violations related to facade maintenance and safety reporting requirements, including failure to file acceptable facade inspection reports and issues with scaffolding conditions, resulting in penalties totaling over $10,000. However, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections since 2017, with the most recent inspections in 2024 showing compliance. The property has a history of facade and exterior maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple violations regarding cracked stucco and safety measures on the exterior walls.

Although there have been various health and safety violations, particularly relating to heating and water systems, many previous issues appear to have been addressed or closed, indicating some responsiveness to maintenance concerns. The building currently has several open violations that require attention, particularly regarding facade maintenance and timely reporting procedures. The Department of Buildings has documented both active violations and previously dismissed violations regarding various building maintenance issues, including safety certification matters and facade maintenance requirements.
