42 West 119th Street, Manhattan, NY 10026
The three-unit, three-story building at 42 West 119th Street in Harlem, owned by Sherill Henry, has been facing persistent pest control challenges, particularly with rodent activity, since at least 2019. Most recently, there has been an active rodent control program in place throughout 2025, with bait applied regularly between March and June 2025, following an initial "Rat Activity" finding in February 2025.
The building has multiple open violations regarding the failure to file Annual Bedbug Reports from 2021 to 2024, which represents a significant oversight in pest management responsibilities. The property has also accumulated several concerning violations related to external low-pressure inspections, with active violations dating back to 2018-2023 that have not been resolved as of September 2024.
Recent complaints to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) include a garbage/recycling storage issue in June 2024, though no violations were issued following the inspection. The building's historical record shows a pattern of rodent-related complaints, with multiple reports filed between 2019 and 2024, suggesting an ongoing pest management challenge. The property was built in 1891 and has undergone conversion to its current class status, but detailed historical improvements or renovations are not reflected in the available violation data.
