43 West 118th Street, Manhattan, NY 10026

The three-unit residential building at 43 West 118th Street in Harlem, owned by Regina Asaba and constructed in 1998, has experienced several notable maintenance events over the past two years. Most recently, in December 2023, there were heat and hot water issues reported in one apartment, which were promptly investigated and resolved by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development within one day.

The building had two Housing Maintenance Code Violations in 2023 and 2021 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these violations have since been closed. However, it's important to note that the bedbug reporting requirements have been consistently met since then, with all subsequent reports from 2022 to December 2024 showing zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units.

The property has maintained a strong track record regarding rodent inspections, passing all nine inspections conducted between 2018 and 2025, with the most recent inspection in July 2025 showing no issues. This regular inspection schedule and consistent passing results suggest effective pest control measures are in place. While the recent heat and hot water issue in December 2023 required intervention, it appears to have been an isolated incident rather than part of a wider pattern of maintenance problems, particularly given the building's generally good standing in other areas of housing maintenance compliance.
