46 West 120th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

The three-story, four-unit building at 46 West 120th Street in Harlem, built in 1896 and currently owned by Sherill Henry, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges over recent years, with several open violations that could impact resident quality of life. The property has an ongoing pattern of failing to file required bedbug reports under Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) regulations, with violations recorded annually from 2021 through 2024.

Additionally, there are multiple active violations related to external low-pressure inspection filings, with non-compliance documented for the years 2018-2023, and a separate violation issued in 2024 for failure to file the 2023 inspection report. The building has also faced rodent control issues, with inspections in 2024 showing concerning patterns including multiple failures for "Other Reasons," while earlier inspections in 2023 generally showed "Rat Activity" and required bait applications. Recent developments include a building shaking/vibration complaint in May 2025, which was investigated but found not to warrant any violation.

While the most recent rodent inspection in April 2025 resulted in a "Passed" status, the historical pattern of violations and compliance failures suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance. The property has been subjected to consistent oversight, with numerous inspections and violations recorded, particularly between 2023 and 2024, indicating a need for more timely compliance with required inspections and reporting. Despite these issues, it's worth noting that the building has demonstrated some improvements, with recent rodent inspections showing at least temporary adherence to standards as of April 2025.
