371 West 126th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

The 12-unit, 6-story building at 371 West 126th Street in Harlem, owned by Sheng Chen, was constructed in 2008 and has maintained a generally good record over the past years. Most notably, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections for ten consecutive years from 2018 to 2025, demonstrating effective pest management.

The property has shown no evidence of bedbug infestations since at least 2019, with all nine annual bedbug reports (from 2019 to 2024) indicating zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. The building has experienced some maintenance issues, particularly in 2021, when there were complaints regarding plumbing (sink/basin) and ventilation systems, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development found no violations in either case. A notable safety concern was addressed in late 2021 when a door lock monitoring system was found to be inoperative, resulting in a $1,250 fine (later resolved) indicating potential security system deficiencies.

The building's elevator system has been the subject of two complaints regarding single device operation and lack of alternate service, in 2023 and 2021, though inspections did not warrant any violations in either case. There were also three separate DOB violations recorded between 2018-2019, though all were resolved or dismissed. A minor violation was issued in 2021 regarding missing inspection certificate frames in the public hall, which was certified as corrected in September 2021.
