50 West 120th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027
The three-story, two-unit building at 50 West 120th Street in Harlem, owned by Yohannes Syoum, has a complex inspection and violation history spanning several years. Most recently, the building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no reported infestations in the past two filings (October 2024 and June 2024), marking a positive trend in this area. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections since 2017, passing all inspections, which suggests competent pest management practices.
The building's violations and complaints primarily relate to maintenance and compliance requirements. There are recent active violations regarding the failure to file 2020 external low-pressure inspection documentation (2023). Previous violations for not submitting annual boiler inspection reports and external low-pressure inspections from 2018-2020 were dismissed in February 2025. There have been multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements between 2021-2024, though these appear to have been resolved with the most recent compliant filings.
The building has also been subject to Local Law 188/17 compliance inspections in 2023 and 2024, with one instance of access issues, though no violations were found in at least one completed inspection. The property has undergone two permitted jobs, with the most recent permit issued in April 2024. The building's age (constructed in 1896) and designation as an Old Law Single Room Occupancy structure may contribute to its unique maintenance and compliance requirements. While the building has experienced various violations and missed compliance deadlines over the years, the recent pattern of successful rodent inspections and compliant bedbug reporting suggests improved oversight and maintenance practices.
