405 West 127th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027
The six-story, 36-unit tenement building at 405 West 127th Street in Harlem, built in 1926 and currently owned by Lenore Browne, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues over the past two years. Most concerning are the current open violations from February 2025, including problems with smoke detectors, an electric/gas range, refrigerator, and heat/hot water systems, all categorized as emergencies.
The building has also faced persistent rodent issues, with multiple recent inspections in 2024-2025 showing rat activity, though a formal rat activity compliance inspection passed in August 2023. Additional significant problems include multiple water supply plumbing complaints in early 2024, a mold-related emergency in March 2025, and various appliance and cabinet issues reported through 311.
The building has a history of structural and environmental concerns, as evidenced by a 2024 violation requiring annual bedbug reporting (though all reports since 2021 show no infested units), and issues with mold in apartment 1B documented in 2022 and 2023, which required remediation. The building has faced challenges with access during inspections, particularly for heat/hot water complaints in both 2024 and 2025, and a recent Certificate of Occupancy complaint in October 2024 that also resulted in access issues during inspection. While some violations have been closed, including a 2024 plumbing issue and various other complaints, multiple open violations and recurring maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and tenant access for repairs.
