5 West 120th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027
5 West 120th Street in Harlem is a 4-story, 5-unit residential building constructed in 1888, currently owned by Celine Rubensalama. The property has been experiencing recurring housing maintenance issues related to bedbug reporting compliance, with open violations recorded through 2024.
Specifically, the building has received four consecutive violations (2021-2024) for failing to file the required annual bedbug report as mandated by NYC Housing Maintenance Code. These violations represent unchecked regulatory compliance issues, though they do not directly indicate an active pest infestation. On a more positive note, the building has maintained exemplary rodent control standards, with all inspections from 2017 through February 2025 resulting in "Passed" ratings.
This includes recent inspections in 2024 and 2025, confirming effective pest management practices in this regard. Additionally, there was one complaint filed in October 2023 regarding work without a permit in an occupied multiple dwelling, but the Department of Buildings inspection on October 24, 2023, found no violations warranting action. While the building's age and history suggest typical urban maintenance challenges, the most pressing current issue appears to be the ongoing bedbug reporting compliance violations, though these are administrative in nature rather than directly related to resident health or safety.
