68 West 120th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027
68 West 120th Street, a 6-unit, 3-story building constructed in 1893 in Harlem, is currently owned by Cheryl Smith and designated as a New Law Single Room Occupancy property. The building's recent history shows a concerning pattern of non-compliance with Housing Maintenance Code requirements, specifically related to bedbug reporting, with open violations recorded in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021, indicating ongoing issues with compliance.
Additionally, there is an active Department of Buildings violation from November 2019 regarding the failure to file the annual boiler inspection report for 2017. Between 2018 and 2019, there were multiple complaints about illegal hotel room usage, though these were ultimately closed, with one investigation in August 2018 finding the complaint unsubstantiated based on department records.
On a more positive note, the building has demonstrated consistent compliance with rodent control requirements in recent years, with all initial inspections from 2022 through 2025 passing successfully, despite a rat activity finding in August 2019. The property's maintenance record shows a particularly significant period of bedbug reporting violations from 2021 through 2024, which appears to be its most pressing current issue. While the building has passed all recent rodent inspections, the open bedbug violation from 2024 marks the most recent outstanding housing maintenance compliance issue.
