125 West 129th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

The three-story, three-unit building at 125 West 129th Street in Harlem, owned by Yvonne Nathan, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most notable cluster of problems occurring around mid-2024. The building underwent multiple Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) inspections in June 2024, resulting in violations related to paint/plaster conditions on walls and ceilings, with the Department noting the need for repairs. Other issues during this period, though not resulting in violations, included concerns with flooring/stairs, window/frames, door/frames, and electric/gas ranges.

An emergency safety complaint regarding the fire escape was filed and inspected in June 2024, though no violations were issued. The building has undergone regulatory inspections that resulted in several class A violations, all certified as addressed by November 2024. These included requirements to properly maintain safety notices regarding gas leaks, smoke detectors, and carbon monoxide detectors, as well as repairs to water leak evidence and plaster surfaces in the public hall.

The property has maintained a strong record of passing rodent inspections, successfully passing multiple inspections from 2017 through 2025. Recent bedbug reports from both September 2024 and January 2025 indicated no infestations or eradication efforts required. Historical complaints from 2021 regarding building shaking/vibration were investigated but found no violations at the time of inspection.
