230 West 123rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

230 West 123rd Street is a 5-story, 15-unit residential building located in Harlem, built in 1910 and currently owned by Warren Horowitz. The property has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, with three documented emergency complaints between 2024 and 2022, though each time heat and/or hot water was reportedly restored before full inspection.

The building has faced maintenance challenges, most notably a persistent rodent infestation issue throughout 2025, with multiple inspections showing rat activity and bait application. Recent violations include two self-closing door issues identified in June 2024, one at a first-story apartment entrance and another at the public hall vestibule, though one of these violations was subsequently closed. The building's history shows significant attention to safety features, with violations recorded in 2021 related to defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 1A, though these violations were later closed.

The property has maintained good pest control practices regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations in the last five annual reports from 2020-2024. Multiple complaints regarding garbage/recycling storage conditions were filed in late 2020, though these were inspected and found to have no violations. The building's recent inspection history shows active management of compliance issues, with various violations being addressed and closed promptly, while new concerns such as the current rodent situation suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
