18 West 129th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

18 West 129th Street is a 6-story, 12-unit residential building constructed in 2008 in Harlem, currently owned by Kathryn Levine. The building has shown commendable maintenance in recent years, with no reported bedbug infestations or eradications in the past three years (2022-2025), and all bedbug reports indicating zero infested or eradicated units since 2022.

The property has consistently passed rodent inspections from 2019 onwards, with only two rat activity incidents recorded in October 2018 and January 2019, after which no further rodent issues have been noted through 2025. The building has had some regulatory challenges worth noting, including an open Class B violation from 2018 regarding inadequate lighting at the front entranceway, requiring minimum 100-watt lighting from sunset to sunrise, which remains unresolved as of 2023.

There were also two identical Class A Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2021 and 2022 related to the timely filing of annual bedbug reports, though these appear to have been rectified given the current clean bedbug record. A Department of Buildings violation from November 2018 was ultimately dismissed in December 2022 based on subsequent reports showing corrections had been made. While the building has had some violations in its history, particularly in 2018-2019, it has demonstrated ongoing compliance with rodent control measures and has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations and eradications in recent years.
