77 West 119th Street, Manhattan, NY 10026

The three-story, 8-unit single room occupancy building at 77 West 119th Street in Harlem, owned by Roger McNulty, has a concerning pattern of regulatory non-compliance over the past several years. Most notably, there have been repeated violations regarding the failure to file required annual bedbug reports, with open violations documented in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021, indicating persistent non-compliance with HPD requirements.

Additionally, there are four active violations from June 2023 related to unfiled external low-pressure inspections for the years 2018-2021, which are now over three years old and show a pattern of neglect regarding critical building maintenance requirements. The building did have one closed complaint in 2022 regarding an alleged illegal conversion, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the complaint.

On a more positive note, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections over the past several years, with the most recent inspection in April 2025 showing compliance. The Department of Buildings also issued permits in 2021 and 2022, though the specific nature of the work authorized by these permits is not detailed in the available records. While the property has maintained basic rodent-free status, the ongoing violations related to bedbug reporting and critical safety inspections raise significant concerns about regulatory compliance and attention to building maintenance requirements.
