3 West 119th Street, Manhattan, NY 10026

The 2-family residential building at 3 West 119th Street in Harlem, owned by Thomasina White, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most pressing is an open water leak complaint filed in April 2025, which HPD is actively investigating and requires tenant cooperation for resolution.

In July 2021, multiple maintenance violations were documented in the second-floor apartment (apt 2), including issues with mechanical ventilation systems in both the kitchen and bathroom, self-closing door mechanisms, and a defective wood subfloor, though most of these violations have since been closed except for the ventilation issues. The building's pest control record shows consistent vigilance, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past eight reporting periods from 2019 through 2025.

Rodent inspections have generally resulted in passing grades, with the most recent inspection in April 2025 being the only one to show rat activity, though subsequent inspections in October 2024 and April 2025 passed. While the building has had its share of maintenance challenges, particularly regarding ventilation systems and water issues, it has maintained a good track record in terms of pest control and generally passes routine inspections. The most current major concern is the open water leak issue, which remains unresolved as of the latest reports.
