18 East 118th Street, Manhattan, NY 10035

The four-story, three-unit residential building at 18 East 118th Street in East Harlem, owned by Ivette Rivera, has been in operation since 2000 and has experienced several notable events regarding pest management and compliance. The property has ongoing violations related to bedbug reporting, with the most recent open violations recorded in April 2024, March 2023, and March 2022, all related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) § HMC.

While these violations indicate non-compliance with reporting requirements, it's noteworthy that the building's official bedbug reporting for the period of November 2019 to October 2020 showed no infested units, no units requiring eradication, and no re-infestation cases. In terms of rodent management, the building has maintained a strong record of compliance since 2018, passing all rodent inspections from March 2022 through March 2025, with only one notable incident of rat activity reported on March 8, 2018.

This consistent passing rate of rodent inspections suggests effective ongoing pest management in this area. The building's relatively recent history shows active enforcement of rodent control measures, while the persistent bedbug reporting violations indicate an administrative compliance issue rather than an active infestation problem, given the absence of reported infestations in the official records.
