123 Post Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10034
The 5-story, 10-unit tenement building at 123 Post Avenue in Inwood, owned by Ludovik Benedek and constructed in 1920, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent months. Most notably, in April 2025, there were multiple unresolved complaints regarding electrical appliances, including problems with electric/gas ranges and outlets, as well as refrigerator issues. The building has faced recurring heat and hot water problems, with multiple complaints between September and October 2024 where Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) inspectors were unable to gain access to apartments for necessary inspections.
Additional maintenance issues have included unsanitary conditions such as mold and pest problems earlier in 2025, with one mold complaint classified as an emergency. The basement apartment (BASEME) has multiple open violations from October 2024, including issues with electrical outlets, mold, and lead-based paint hazards, while other violations from July 2024 indicate problems with floor and plaster repairs in the BASEMT apartment. Other notable incidents include a gas utility referral in January 2024 that resulted in a violation and a building shaking complaint in December 2023 that was investigated but no violations were found.
The property has consistently passed rodent inspections between 2019 and 2025, and there have been no bedbug infestations reported in any of the annual filings since 2019. The Department of Buildings records also show an active violation from April 2023 regarding the failure to file a 2022 external low-pressure inspection. The building's history shows persistent maintenance challenges, particularly regarding access for inspections and timely resolutions of reported issues, with multiple recent complaints requiring follow-up inspections and continued monitoring by HPD.
