20 West 119th Street, Manhattan, NY 10026

The three-story, two-unit building at 20 West 119th Street in Harlem, owned by Menachem Seidenfeld, has undergone regular inspections and monitoring since 2019. The 126-year-old property has maintained an active compliance record regarding bedbug and rodent management, though there have been some notable incidents.

The building has experienced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance between 2021 and 2023, receiving Class A Housing Maintenance Code violations in March 2021, February 2022, and March 2023 for failing to file the required annual bedbug reports. However, the most recent bedbug reports for the filing periods ending in October 2023 (submitted in July 2024 and March 2024) indicate no infested units, suggesting successful eradication efforts. The building has faced rat activity challenges, particularly evident between January and February 2024, when inspections noted rat presence and resulted in bait application.

However, more recent inspections conducted throughout 2024 and into 2025 show improvement, with rodent inspections in January 2025 and July 2025 passing successfully. The property has maintained overall regulatory compliance since 2019, with multiple initial inspections showing "Passed" results, though it experienced transient rodent issues in early 2024 that required management intervention. The building's management has demonstrated responsiveness to pest control requirements, with all recent reports showing either no infestations or successfully addressed rodent issues, though the repeated bedbug reporting violations in prior years are notable.
