AI summary · updated June 2026

74 West 119th Street is a three-story, four-unit residential building constructed in 1885 in Harlem, currently owned by Heshy Preizler. The building has faced persistent pest control issues, with recent complaints in late 2024 regarding unsanitary conditions and pests, particularly affecting Apartment 6. Multiple violations were issued in May 2024 documenting vermin and rat infestations in Apartment 5, though notably, the building's most recent rodent inspections in 2025 have shown passed results, suggesting improved conditions. The property has experienced recurring challenges with building maintenance and basic services, including documenting power outages in 2022, heating issues, and various maintenance violations. Of particular concern are the active Department of Buildings violations from 2023-2024 related to failure to file mandatory external low-pressure inspections, which remain open as of September 2024.

The building's maintenance history reveals a pattern of issues requiring attention to basic living conditions. Significant events include unsatisfactory responses to bedbug reporting requirements (with incomplete filings in 2022-2023), multiple reports of electrical problems, and various general maintenance violations. A concerning incident in 2022 involved mold issues in basement Bathroom B2, alongside reports of plumbing-related problems and necessary repairs to structural elements like stairs and cabinetry. While the building has shown some improvements in rodent control as evidenced by recent passed inspections, there remain open violations regarding pest management and building maintenance requirements, suggesting ongoing challenges with property upkeep.
