112 West 128th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

112 West 128th Street is a 4-story, 3-unit residential building located in Harlem, owned by Esther Flores and constructed in 2001. The property has faced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations recorded between 2022-2024, with violations still open as of 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports.

While the building documented no actual bedbug infestations during the 2019-2020 reporting period, the persistent violations suggest ongoing reporting irregularities. The most recent service request from September 2024 regarding paint/plaster issues in the walls could not be inspected by HPD, necessitating re-submission of the complaint for proper investigation.

The building has maintained a generally good record in other areas, particularly concerning rodent inspections, where it has passed all inspections conducted from 2018 through 2025, with the most recent inspection in February 2025 showing compliance. A concerning pattern emerged in 2019 when two rat-related inspections were conducted, including one showing "Rat Activity," though subsequent inspections have shown consistent compliance since then. The property has been diligent in addressing most maintenance issues, as evidenced by the prompt closure of various complaints, though the ongoing bedbug reporting violations remain the most significant regulatory concern.
