125 Seaman Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10034

125 Seaman Avenue is a 6-story, 48-unit residential building constructed in 1928 under the New Law Tenement classification, currently owned by David Eshaghpour. The building has experienced persistent maintenance challenges, particularly in recent months, with multiple tenant complaints filed through 311 in June 2025 regarding plumbing issues (bathtub/shower and toilet problems), electrical problems (lighting issues and power outage), flooring concerns, pest infestations, and door/window issues.

Many of these complaints required further follow-up after HPD was unable to complete inspections during their initial response. The building's most significant issues appear to be concentrated in apartment 3E, which has multiple open Class C violations from inspections in 2024-2025, including problems with window guards, water closet flush pipe connections, faucet leaks, and an infestation of roaches. The elevator service has also been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints between 2023-2025 regarding single device service and no alternate service.

Rodent activity has been documented in inspections throughout 2023-2025, with multiple instances of rat activity recorded in recent inspections. While there are no current bedbug infestations reported (as of 2025), the building's overall maintenance record shows recurring issues with plumbing, electrical systems, and sanitation that suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort. The property has undergone some repairs, as evidenced by the closure of several Housing Maintenance Code Complaints, but many issues remain unresolved or in need of follow-up inspections.
