127 West 136th Street, Manhattan, NY 10030

The four-unit, four-story building at 127 West 136th Street in Harlem, owned by Alvin Kwok, was constructed in 1920 and has undergone conversion to a Class B property. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, with the most significant concerns being mold and water supply problems reported in 2019.

Specifically, a mold issue was reported in September 2019 and a water supply complaint in April 2019; while both were addressed and closed, they were categorized as emergency complaints. More recently, the building has failed to file required annual bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024, resulting in four open Class A violations related to Housing Maintenance Code requirements. On a positive note, the building has maintained good conditions regarding rodent inspections, passing all nine inspections conducted between 2018 and 2025.

These inspections, held regularly every six months, indicate consistent compliance with rodent control requirements. The building's most recent housing maintenance inspection data, up to April 2024, shows the persistent bedbug reporting violation remains open while listing no new significant complaints or violations. The building's unit count, story count, and other basic details confirm it as a typical small Harlem residential property, though the repeated bedbug reporting violations suggest some administrative oversights in compliance requirements.
