Questions about this building

Does 70 West 128 Street, Manhattan have open violations?

Yes. 70 West 128 Street, Manhattan had 128 open violations on September 27, 2026: 120 from HPD and 8 from OATH/ECB. 41 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous. The oldest open HPD violation has been open 7 years, since November 17, 2018.

Is 70 West 128 Street, Manhattan getting better or worse?

Certifications are being filed faster than new violations come in. 53 certifications filed against 18 new Class C in the last 180 days. That window ends September 27, 2026. It compares certifications filed with new Class C violations, and it describes what happened, not what anyone intends.

When were certifications filed on Class C violations at 70 West 128 Street, Manhattan?

Since September 29, 2023, certifications were filed on 135 Class C violations: 117 by the original certify-by date, 18 after it. A certification is the filing, dated when it was made, not HPD's acceptance of it. It is compared with the original certify-by date on the notice. A granted postponement moves that date and the city's data keeps only the first, so a certification counted after it may still have met a postponed date.

Does 70 West 128 Street, Manhattan have an OATH hearing coming up?

Yes. 7 hearings scheduled on DOB summonses, the first on October 1, 2026. DOB summonses are heard at OATH, the city's hearings office, and OATH can move a hearing to a later date. When nobody shows up, the summons is decided by default, the costliest way one ends.

Does 70 West 128 Street, Manhattan have active DOB violations?

Yes. 8 active DOB violations, most of them for low-pressure boilers. The newest was issued September 23, 2024. The Department of Buildings writes these separately from HPD's housing violations, for things like boilers, elevators, facades, construction and energy filings. Each one stays active until DOB resolves or dismisses it.

Has DOB received complaints about 70 West 128 Street, Manhattan?

Yes. 6 DOB complaints, 1 of them conversion complaint, in the 12 months to September 25, 2026. The newest was filed July 22, 2026. Anyone can complain to DOB about a building or the work going on in it, and DOB then inspects and decides whether there is a violation. A conversion complaint says an apartment may have been added or changed without approval. It is a complaint, not a finding.

Are any HPD emergency repair orders at 70 West 128 Street, Manhattan marked completed?

Yes. 3 completed HPD emergency repair orders since September 29, 2023, awarded for $1,374 in total. The most recent of the 3, a general construction order, was opened August 26, 2026. HPD orders an emergency repair when a hazardous condition cited in a violation, or in another agency's emergency order, is not corrected, and does the work itself or through a contractor. The amounts are what the orders were awarded for, not a bill: this page does not show what was charged to the property or whether it was paid. Orders for lab tests, such as dust-wipe and asbestos samples, are not counted.

When did 70 West 128 Street, Manhattan last file its bedbug report?

Its 2 buildings had all filed by February 9, 2026, for the year to October 31, 2025. HPD asks the owner of every building with 3 or more apartments for this report once a year, covering November 1 to October 31, including buildings that had no bedbugs.

Is 70 West 128 Street, Manhattan rent stabilized?

The building has rent-stabilized apartments on its 2024 registration. That comes from the Rent Guidelines Board's list of buildings with at least one stabilized apartment registered that year. Buildings that registered late are left off, and a 421-a or J-51 building can leave stabilization when its tax benefit ends. A particular apartment's status is for NYS HCR to say.

When was 70 West 128 Street, Manhattan built?

The city's record gives 1900 as the year 70 West 128 Street, Manhattan was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as a walk-up apartment building with 5 floors.

How many apartments does 70 West 128 Street, Manhattan have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 18 residential units at 70 West 128 Street, Manhattan. The count is for the whole tax lot.

Where do these numbers come from?

From New York City's own data: HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, read whole rather than sampled. It also draws on OATH hearing dates, DOB violations, DOB complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, HPD emergency repair orders, HPD's annual bedbug reports and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. This page is current through September 27, 2026. The city's data changes daily, so a violation certified after that can still show as open here; the city's own page for this building is linked above.

Sources. HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, plus OATH hearing dates, DOB violations, DOB complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, HPD emergency repair orders, HPD's annual bedbug reports and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. Counts cover HPD Class B and C violations from the last 3 years that HPD still shows open, and OATH/ECB summonses from the same 3 years that the city still shows active. The city's own pages can show more, never fewer.
