12 West 122nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

The three-story, four-unit building at 12 West 122nd Street in Harlem, owned by Mercelle Mason and constructed in 1889, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years. In late 2022, multiple service requests were filed and subsequently investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) from November 2022 through June 2023, covering various concerns including electrical outlets/switches, window frames, bathtub/shower facilities, and lighting issues.

While all these complaints were closed without violations being issued, there was also an emergency heat/hot water complaint affecting the entire building in November 2022 that was verified and corrected. The building's compliance history shows consistent attention to pest management, with annual bedbug reports being filed from 2021 to 2024, though no infestations were reported in the recent filings between 2023-2025.

Additionally, the property has maintained good sanitary conditions with regular rodent inspections, all of which have passed consistently from 2017 through February 2025. A notable pattern emerged regarding the bedbug reporting requirements, as indicated by four class A violations between 2021 and 2024, though these violations appear to have been rectified, with no current certifications pending. The building's maintenance record shows attention to various infrastructure issues, particularly during the November 2022 period, while recent inspections and filings suggest improved maintenance practices and pest management protocols have been established, with no reported infestations or rodent issues in the past two years.
