152 West 124th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

152 West 124th Street is a 5-story, 20-unit residential building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Nina Demartiniday. The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns emerging between December 2024 and June 2025 including multiple safety violations related to smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors, as well as problems with the intercom system. In January 2025, violations were issued regarding ceiling plaster/paint conditions, though one plumbing-related complaint from that period was determined not to violate housing laws.

The building has also faced pest-related issues, with open violations from October 2023 documenting infestations of rodents and roaches in the cellar, and a separate violation from September 2023 noting a mouse and roach infestation in Apartment 303. More recent rodent inspections conducted in 2025 have consistently passed, suggesting improvements in pest management. The building's maintenance history reveals a pattern of certain recurring issues, particularly with safety systems and building access equipment.

Notable concerns include violations of building safety codes regarding fire escape access (third-story balcony), various plumbing issues, and problems with doors and windows. While the building has maintained an active schedule of rodent inspections (all passing since 2019), there has been no documented bedbug activity in the past six reporting periods from 2019 to 2024, suggesting effective management of this particular pest. The property has a history of open violations prior to 2025 regarding door locks, laundry room door glass, and bathroom lighting in Apartment 303, though some of these issues were previously addressed and closed.
