148 West 127th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

The three-story, four-unit building at 148 West 127th Street in Harlem, owned by Dani Weiss, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly related to its heating system. Between January and March 2022, there were multiple emergency complaints about heat and hot water issues, with inspections revealing violations including inadequate heating in Apartment 2 and improper access to the boiler room.

While these violations were eventually closed (with some certified as corrected in 2024), the frequency of heating complaints during this period was concerning. More recently, in 2025, the building has shown recurring rodent activity, with rat activity documented in July 2025 and previous inspections in 2024 and 2023 also noting similar problems, though there were passed inspections in between these occurrences. The building's age (constructed in 1910) is shown in its maintenance history, which includes older violations from the 1970s regarding a heating plant enclosure and structural issues, though these were all eventually resolved.

On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs over the past several years, with no reported infestations in the most recent reporting periods from 2022 through 2024. The property has consistently filed required bedbug reports showing zero infested units. The building's management has generally responded to violations and complaints, with most being closed or certified as corrected, though the recurrence of heat and rodent issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
