72 West 119th Street, Manhattan, NY 10026

The 3-unit building at 72 West 119th Street in Harlem, owned by Nicolo Cartiglia and constructed in 1894, has experienced several notable issues over the past few years. The most significant cluster of problems occurred between late 2022 and early 2023, when multiple emergency situations were reported, including concerns about heat and hot water systems, safety issues with sprinklers, window guards, and smoke detectors, as well as plumbing water supply problems.

A serious heat and hot water issue affecting the entire building was reported in May 2022. More recent inspections from March 2024 revealed self-closing door violations on multiple floors, including the first story vestibule door and apartment entrances on the first and third floors.

The building has maintained a good record in terms of pest management, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years, and all bedbug reports filed showing zero infested units. Additionally, rodent inspections have consistently passed, with the most recent inspection in July 2025 showing successful compliance. The building's violation history shows that most issues have been addressed and closed, with recent violations primarily relating to door mechanism failures rather than safety or habitability concerns.
