212 West 124th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

The 19-story building at 212 West 124th Street in Harlem, owned by Rachel Klein and completed in 2021, is a 169-unit residential property that has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2025. Between April and June 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding building-wide heat and hot water problems, with several incidents requiring Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) inspections.

While some inspections found no violations, others were marked as duplicates of existing complaints. The building has also faced various maintenance issues, including appliance problems (refrigerator), electrical outages, plumbing concerns, and mailbox issues, as documented in Housing Maintenance Code Complaints during June 2025. Prior to these recent problems, the building experienced several construction-related issues during its initial year of operation.

In 2023-2024, there were multiple complaints regarding site conditions endangering workers, though most were found not to warrant violations upon inspection. The Department of Buildings documented two specific violations related to energy reporting: failure to submit an Energy Efficiency Report in 2019 (resolved in 2021) and a benchmarking report violation in 2024 (dismissed after challenge). Importantly, the bedbug reporting system indicates no infestations or related issues in the building between November 2022 and October 2023, suggesting effective pest management during that period.
