18 West 128th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

The three-story residential building at 18 West 128th Street in Harlem, owned by Lesa Muhammad, has been subject to recurring administrative violations and pest control challenges over recent years. Most notably, the property has accumulated an ongoing pattern of bedbug report violations between 2021 and 2024, with the most recent violation recorded in April 2024, indicating a failure to file the required annual bedbug report as mandated by Housing Maintenance Code § HMC.

These four consecutive bedbug report violations suggest persistent non-compliance with mandatory reporting requirements. The building has experienced some fluctuations in rodent management conditions, particularly in 2023, when rat activity was detected during inspections in both February and August.

However, more recent inspections show improvement, with passed results in February 2024 and February 2025, indicating successful remediation efforts. Despite these pest control challenges, the building has generally maintained compliance with rodent inspection requirements, with no further rat activity reported since August 2023. The property, constructed in 1899 and classed as a "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A" building, contains three residential units and has undergone regular rodent inspections, with most showing passed results, suggesting proactive management of this particular issue, though with a notable lapse in 2023.
