5 West 121st Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

5 West 121st Street is a four-story, three-unit residential building in Harlem, constructed in 1890 and currently owned by Terezia Manczur. The building has experienced recurring administrative violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with violation notices issued in 2021, 2022, and 2023 for failure to file the annual bedbug report as mandated by the Housing Maintenance Code.

However, it's worth noting that since these violations were recorded, the property has consistently reported zero infested dwelling units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units in all subsequent bedbug reports filed from 2021 through 2025. The building has maintained a strong record in other areas, particularly in rodent inspections, having passed all ten inspections conducted between 2017 and 2025, including recent successful inspections in February 2025, August 2024, and throughout 2023.

A recent complaint was filed in May 2024 regarding unauthorized work in the occupied multiple dwelling, but upon inspection the same day, no violations were warranted. While the bedbug reporting violations may initially raise concerns, the consistent zero infestation reports and passing rodent inspections suggest generally favorable building conditions, with the most pressing issue being the historical administrative violations that appear to have been corrected, as evidenced by the proper filing of bedbug reports in 2024 and 2025.
