73 East 118th Street, Manhattan, NY 10035

73 East 118th Street is a 4-story, 3-unit residential building located in East Harlem, owned by Takeshi Noda and constructed in 2001. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections since 2018, with all inspections passing, including the most recent inspection in July 2025.

However, there are several notable concerns regarding building maintenance compliance. The building has consistently received Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021-2024 for failing to file the required annual bedbug reports with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), resulting in four consecutive open violations. In terms of historical issues, the building experienced two Department of Buildings complaints in late 2018 regarding permit matters and site conditions, though these were ultimately resolved without penalties.

An Environmental Control Board violation was issued in November 2018 related to an excessively high fence on the property, though this was also resolved without any penalties. While the recent rat sighting complaint in April 2025 showed access issues for inspection, the property has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections, suggesting effective pest management overall. The most pressing current concern remains the open bedbug reporting violations from 2021-2024, which are not being reflected as certified in the system.
