265 West 123rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10027
The five-story Old Law Tenement building at 265 West 123rd Street in Harlem, managed by owner Michael Aryeh, has been facing persistent maintenance challenges in recent years. Most notably, there has been a recurring rodent infestation issue, with multiple complaints and inspections from 2024 to 2025 indicating rat activity and the need for bait application (as recently as July 2025). The building has also experienced ongoing heating system problems, with multiple heating and hot water-related complaints documented between 2020 and 2025, including two emergency complaints in 2024.
Additional maintenance concerns have included gas supply issues (with an active violation on record from October 2024), plumbing problems (including radiator and bathtub issues in 2022), and historical egress violations related to blocked emergency exits in 2021. The property has a history of responding to various building code violations, including those related to exterior maintenance, with active violations from 2020-2024 regarding masonry wall gaps and emergency exit obstructions. While the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past six years, with all reports showing zero infested units, the persistence of rat activity and heating system issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
The building's management has been subject to multiple Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations, with some related to failure to properly address emergency conditions, though several past violations have been resolved. Recent inspections in 2025 continue to show rodent activity, despite previous baiting efforts as a temporary measure to address the ongoing infestation problem. (Note: The report covers data up to October 2023, acknowledging that the current date is July 2025 but not speculating on any events or conditions beyond the available dataset.)
