50 West 119th Street, Manhattan, NY 10026
50 West 119th Street is a 5-story, 10-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1896 in Harlem, currently managed by 48-50 West 119th Street HDFC. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns documented in April 2024 involving violations for a defective intercom system, faulty carbon monoxide detectors, malfunctioning smoke detectors, and leaky bathtub faucets in apartment 4W. Earlier in 2023, there was an emergency door-related complaint, and multiple intercom issues were reported between October 2023 and November 2023, with at least one resulting in violations.
The building's history shows periodic rodent problems, with several inspections revealing "Rat Activity" between 2022-2025, though two recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passed. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations from 2019 through 2025, and all required annual reporting has been completed timely. Historical records indicate previous maintenance challenges in different units, including a 2019 violation in apartment 3W concerning defective plastered surfaces, bathroom issues, and a roach infestation that was subsequently abated.
The building has generally complied with bedbug reporting requirements since 2019, consistently reporting zero infestations. The most recent housing maintenance inspection in April 2024 highlighted several safety system deficiencies that require attention, including problems with emergency equipment and plumbing fixtures. While the building has periodic maintenance issues, particularly with security systems and plumbing, recent inspections suggest improvements in overall maintenance compliance, though the property still has several open violations as of 2024.
