418-420 West 129th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

The five-story New Law Tenement at 418-420 West 129th Street in Harlem, owned by Sandra Harris, has experienced significant heating system issues during early 2020, when multiple complaints were filed regarding lack of heat and hot water throughout the building. These emergencies were eventually resolved, with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development confirming restoration of services.

More recently, the building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections, with the most recent conducted in July 2025 showing no violations, though a rat sighting complaint was investigated in June 2025 with no violations found. The building currently has two active Department of Buildings violations from April 2023 and September 2024 related to the failure to file external low-pressure inspections, and there is an active ECB violation from 2018 concerning unauthorized construction work involving the removal of a partition wall.

The property owner has demonstrated attention to maintenance requirements, with regular rodent inspections being passed consistently since 2019 and annual bedbug reports showing no infestation issues from 2019 through 2024. Multiple work permits have been issued in recent years for various maintenance tasks, including electrical work in 2021 and other improvements in 2019. The building's documented history shows proper resolution of most service requests and compliance with regular inspections, though the recent violations related to external low-pressure inspections could indicate potential oversight in building maintenance responsibilities.
