112 West 129th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

The 5-story, 10-unit building at 112 West 129th Street in Harlem, owned by Monroe H&c Llc Et Al, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Most recently, in March 2025, there was a heat/hot water complaint affecting the entire building that could not be inspected due to lack of access.

Notable incidents in 2023 included multiple complaints relating to water issues (slow and heavy leaks), electrical problems, and ceiling repairs, though these inspections resulted in no violations. The building has a pattern of plumbing and ceiling issues, as evidenced by multiple service requests in 2024-2025, including an emergency plumbing complaint in March 2024 and several water leak reports. The property currently has several open violations from April 2024, primarily affecting apartment 5A, including issues with electrical fixtures, safety devices (missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors), water leaks, and a reported pest infestation (roaches).

The building's bedbug reports from 2021-2023 show zero infested units during those periods, and rodent inspections have yielded mixed results, with the most recent April 2025 inspection passing, although there were reports of rat activity and failed inspections in late 2024. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic amenities, particularly regarding water systems and building safety features. While some issues have been addressed through emergency interventions, multiple open violations from 2024 indicate persistent maintenance needs that require attention.
