510 West 123rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

The 6-story, 48-unit residential building at 510 West 123rd Street, constructed in 1926, has experienced recurring maintenance challenges over recent years, particularly regarding pest control and building systems. Most notably, the building has faced ongoing rodent issues, with multiple reports and inspections between 2023 and 2025 showing pattern of rat activity, despite passing some recent inspections.

The property has maintained consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2019 through to 2025, showing no infested units during these periods. The building has undergone several significant maintenance interventions, particularly in 2021-2022, when multiple inspections addressed various housing maintenance code complaints related to flooring, plumbing, and painting, though no violations were found. A cluster of violations was identified in June 2021 in Apartment 4, including issues with doors, fire safety systems, and pest infestation, all of which were subsequently resolved.

Building systems have required attention, with the elevator system receiving specific attention in late 2021 regarding self-closing door mechanisms and maintenance issues, resulting in a $625 penalty. Recent inspections in 2025 have shown improvements, with the most recent rodent inspection passing, though the building still required multiple inspections to resolve earlier pest activity. The property has maintained regular filing of various permits and inspections, including electrical work permits, and has generally resolved identified violations through appropriate channels, with the most recent inspection indicating no active violations as of April 2024.
