126 La Salle Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

126 La Salle Street is a 6-story, 30-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1905 and currently owned by Jacob Barak. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple building-wide complaints logged between 2020 and 2022, including four emergency complaints in late 2022 alone. While most of these complaints were eventually resolved, they indicate a persistent pattern of heating system problems.

The building has also had safety concerns, notably having blocked fire escape egress documented in March 2021 (violations were subsequently closed), and a carbon monoxide detector violation in 2020. There were significant pest management challenges in 2020, with multiple violations related to a mouse infestation in apartment 4F. Recent records indicate improvements in pest control, with the most recent bedbug reports for 2023-2024 showing zero infested or eradicated units.

The building has maintained compliance with rodent inspections since 2022, passing all inspections through 2025, though there was one failed inspection in August 2020. The property has a history of requiring tenants to file multiple complaints for the same issues, as seen in December 2022 when multiple heat complaints were reported. Regular annual bedbug reporting requirements have been consistently met in recent years, with no reported infestations.
