24 West 126th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

The three-story, three-unit building at 24 West 126th Street in Harlem, owned by William Heater, has a history dating back to 1899. The property has experienced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, with open violations recorded from 2021 through 2024, specifically citing failures to file annual bedbug reports in accordance with HPD regulations.

While there was one bedbug report filed for the period between late 2017 and late 2018 showing no infestations, the repeated violations suggest ongoing monitoring requirements have not been consistently met. The building's safety infrastructure has been addressed over time, with historical violations from 1986 now properly resolved, including improvements to the first-floor vestibule doors and lighting, as well as plumbing modifications in the basement completed under permits.

Recent inspections have shown consistent rodent control compliance, with all required inspections between 2018 and 2025 passing successfully, indicating good maintenance of pest control measures overall. The building, which has undergone various modifications and improvements over the years, was converted to Class A status and has been maintained as a residential property since the 1986 violations were addressed and certified as closed between 2018 and 2019. While the property has demonstrated generally good maintenance practices, particularly regarding rodent control, the persistent bedbug reporting violations remain the most significant ongoing compliance issue, though these violations do not directly indicate current infestation problems.
