127 West 135th Street, Manhattan, NY 10030
The 127 West 135th Street building is a 6-story, 22-unit New Law Tenement constructed in 1910 and currently managed by Scott Jaffee. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints in 2022, 2023, and most recently in December 2024, though inspectors often encountered access issues during investigations. The building underwent significant interior challenges in 2023-2024, particularly in apartment 2D, where violations included pest infestations (both mice and roaches), defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and issues with door seals and intercom systems.
There were three separate floor-related complaints in January 2024, though only one resulted in violations. Recent property maintenance has shown improved response rates, with 2024 bedbug reports indicating no infestations and multiple passed rodent inspections throughout 2022-2025, despite earlier infestation issues. Notable building code violations were addressed between 2023-2024, including emergency inspections revealing unsafe bicycle storage near egress points with potential fire hazards. The building's management has generally responded to violations and complaints, with many being certified as resolved following inspection.
Recent inspections in 2025 showed no significant violations regarding tenant safety or excessive debris, and the property has maintained valid permit documentation for various maintenance work between 2019-2021. Historical records indicate intermittent issues with the elevator system, though recent inspections in 2025 found no violations in this regard. While the building has faced ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly concerning the hot water system and apartment-specific issues, recent months have shown some stabilization in building systems, with fewer complaints about basic services and improved response times to maintenance requests. The property remains subject to regular HPD inspections and oversight, with management generally addressing violations once identified through official channels.
