367 West 126th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

The five-story, nine-unit building at 367 West 126th Street in Harlem, owned by Ecdo Houses Associates Lp, has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues over recent years. The property, which dates back to 1901, has shown persistent problems with basic services, including three separate heat and hot water complaints in early 2025 alone, one of which was closed without inspection access.

The building has also faced significant pest and sanitation challenges, with multiple violations issued in July 2024 regarding pests, mold, and various repair needs in Apartment 2R, including infestations of mice and roaches, visible mold, and issues with bathtub walls. A rodent inspection in May 2025 failed for unspecified reasons, following several detections of rat activity earlier in 2024-2025, despite some baiting efforts. The building's system failures and maintenance concerns have been persistent, with over 20 documented 311 service requests since February 2024, including emergency complaints about electrical issues.

2025 and recent months have continued to show ongoing heating system reliability issues, as evidenced by multiple heat/hot water complaints, some marked as emergencies. While the bedbug situation appears largely controlled in recent years, with no reported infestations since 2021, the combination of heating system failures, pest control challenges, and various maintenance violations suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep and resident comfort. The property currently holds several open violations from the July 2024 inspection, including issues with windows, plumbing, and safety devices, though some infractions have been addressed and closed from previous inspections.
