120 University Place, Manhattan, NY 10003
120 University Place is a 6-story, 92-unit residential building located in Greenwich Village, constructed in 1959 and currently owned by Melvin Gershon. The building has faced recurring pest management challenges, particularly during 2022-2024, with multiple service requests related to rodent sightings and unsanitary conditions, including a July 2024 complaint about pests that was classified as an emergency.
The property has undergone several rodent control measures, including multiple bait applications throughout 2023, though recent inspections, such as the July 2024 initial inspection, passed compliance. Notable infrastructure issues have been documented, including multiple emergency complaints regarding cooking gas systems in 2021 and a heating/hot water complaint affecting the entire building in early 2021. The building has several active violations with the Department of Buildings as of 2024-2025, primarily concerning failure to submit required technical reports and inspections, including FISP Cycle 9C Technical Report and 2022 External Low Pressure Inspection.
Two complaints about work without permits in occupied multiple dwellings were filed in 2024-2025, though both were referred to the Department of Consumer Affairs. The building has maintained a bedbug-free status in recent years, with no reported infestations in the past five filing periods (2019-2024), except for one case in 2018-2019 that was resolved. Historical maintenance records show attention to various building systems, including plumbing repairs and wall maintenance, with most issues being addressed within reasonable timeframes.
