30 West 119th Street, Manhattan, NY 10026

The three-story, four-unit building at 30 West 119th Street in Harlem, owned by Alexander Cruz, has experienced recurring heating system issues throughout late 2023, with three separate complaints about inadequate heat or hot water between November and December 2023, all marked as emergencies. These issues have resulted in multiple violations, including an open Class C violation from December 2023 regarding hot water service in Apartment 4, as well as violations related to heating system access and safety equipment. Specifically, Apartment 4 currently has open violations for missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

The building has a documented history of maintenance issues that include complaints about plumbing (toilets and sinks), electrical outlets, and appliance problems in March 2023, though these did not result in any violations. The property has maintained consistent rodent control success, passing all routine inspections between 2018 and 2025. Bedbug reporting shows no infestations in the past three reporting periods (2020-2021, 2021-2022, and 2022-2023), with all units listed as free from bedbug issues.

While the building had three bedbug-related violations from 2021 through 2024, these appear to be administrative in nature related to reporting requirements rather than evidence of infestations. More recently, there are open violations as of April 2024 concerning insufficient hot water supply and missing safety equipment in Apartment 4, as well as heating system access issues. The building's most recent rodent inspection in July 2025 passed, continuing the property's strong record on pest control.
