11 West 119th Street, Manhattan, NY 10026

The 4-unit, 4-story building at 11 West 119th Street in Harlem, managed by Don Situ and constructed in 1909, has undergone several significant events over the past five years. Most notably, there have been recurring issues with bedbug report compliance, with open violations recorded in 2022, 2023, and 2024, all relating to failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations. The building experienced substantial construction activity in 2022, generating multiple violations related to construction safety and permit compliance.

These included issues with construction site management, inadequate safety measures, and work performed beyond approved plans, with several stop work orders issued and subsequently rescinded. Notable safety and compliance violations included inadequate housekeeping blocking egress, failure to maintain safety equipment measures, and lack of proper construction supervision documentation, resulting in various penalties, though records indicate all related violations have been resolved. On a positive note, the building has maintained consistent rodent inspection compliance, passing all inspections from 2017 through 2025, demonstrating effective pest control measures.

While the bedbug reporting violations raise concerns about record-keeping compliance, it's worth noting that the most recent bedbug report filing period (2019-2020) indicated no infested units. The building received multiple construction permits throughout 2021-2022, suggesting ongoing property improvements and maintenance efforts, with the most recent permits issued in August 2022 under job number 122182235. The property's inspection history shows regular maintenance of safety systems, though the pattern of bedbug report violations suggests some ongoing administrative oversights in maintaining compliance with housing maintenance requirements.
