261 West 126th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

261 West 126th Street is a three-unit, three-story residential building in Harlem, owned by Ronnie Mandler and constructed in 1910. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing being recent heating and sanitation concerns. In early 2025, there were two notable complaints - one regarding heat and hot water issues in January (later confirmed resolved) and another in February concerning unsanitary conditions and pests, which HPD was unable to inspect despite a service request.

The building currently has two active violations from 2019 and 2023 related to failure to file annual boiler inspections and low pressure inspections, respectively. There is also a history of construction-related issues, including a 2020 construction work order violation and a 2024 complaint about sidewalk shed conditions, though both were resolved without penalties. The building's maintenance record shows both progress and ongoing concerns, with the most recent bedbug reports from 2023-2025 indicating no infestations during those periods, suggesting effective pest management.

However, the active violations regarding boiler and low pressure inspections point to potential compliance issues. The property has maintained a pattern of filing bedbug reports showing zero infestations or eradications since 2023, which may indicate proactive monitoring of pest conditions. While some historical violations have been dismissed or closed, the recent service requests in 2025 highlight that some current maintenance concerns still require attention.
