120 Ridge Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

120 Ridge Street is a 6-story, 22-unit residential building located in the Lower East Side and owned by Morris Platt. Constructed in 2001, this Class A building has experienced several notable incidents in recent years. The elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints in 2020 regarding single device operation and safety features, resulting in violations for defective communication, maintenance log issues, and car door problems, though these were subsequently resolved.

The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in recent years, with no confirmed infestations reported between November 2022 and October 2023, and the most recent 2024 report showing zero infested or re-infested units. However, there have been periodic heat and hot water complaints, including a verified incident in November 2019. The building's rodent inspection history shows mixed results, with the most recent inspections in 2025 and 2024 passing, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in February 2024 and a failure for other reasons in August 2022.

The building class designation and structure appear to be generally well-maintained, with most violations being promptly addressed. The property has undergone regular monitoring and inspections, with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development and the Department of Buildings actively overseeing compliance with relevant codes and regulations. While there have been various violations recorded over the years, particularly related to elevator safety and bedbug reporting requirements, most have been resolved appropriately through corrective actions and fines.
