48 West 120th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027
The four-story, two-family house at 48 West 120th Street in Harlem, owned by Yohannes Syoum and dating back to 1896, has experienced several regulatory compliance issues in recent years, particularly regarding external low-pressure system inspections.
Between 2018 and 2023, five consecutive violations were issued for failure to file the required inspections, all of which were subsequently dismissed in March 2025, except for the most recent 2022 violation which remains active. The building has maintained a clean record regarding pest management, with no reported bedbug infestations in the most recent annual reporting period from November 2022 to October 2023, and successful rodent inspections passed consistently from 2017 through 2025, indicating effective pest control measures.
Two building permits were issued in 2018 and 2019 for plumbing work, suggesting that maintenance and upgrades have been completed when required. The property's most pressing current issue is the active violation regarding the 2022 external low-pressure inspection, though recent compliance with other violations suggests progress in addressing building code requirements.
