164 West 128th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027
164 West 128th Street is a 4-story, 16-unit old law tenement building in Harlem, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by 502 Harlem Apartments LLC. The property has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, particularly evident in a cluster of complaints between February and March 2022, when multiple tenants reported inadequate heat and hot water, resulting in several emergency Housing Maintenance Code violations.
More recently, between March and November 2024, there have been ongoing concerns about ventilation and air quality, with four documented complaints in 2024, as well as an active complaint about bees/wasps as of October 2024. The building's current violations include issues with hot water service in apartments 4B and 4C, as well as problems with uneven floors and stairs in public areas across all stories, noted in a November 2024 inspection.
The property has maintained a relatively clean record in terms of pest management, with no reported bedbug infestations in recent years (most recent filing shows zero infested units for 2023-2024) and passed rodent inspections in February 2025 and August 2024, though there were indications of rat activity in early 2024. Historical data shows some mechanical issues, including boiler problems documented in 2020 and 2021, and the building was subject to bedbug reporting requirements in 2019, 2021, and 2024, all showing zero infested units. The most recent Department of Buildings inspection noted a violation regarding heating system sign information, with an associated penalty of $625.
