62 East 119th Street, Manhattan, NY 10035

62 East 119th Street is a 4-story, 3-unit residential building located in East Harlem, constructed in 2001 and currently owned by Denise Rodgers. Over the past several years, the building has experienced some notable maintenance issues, most significantly an emergency heat and hot water outage in December 2020 that was resolved within a few days according to tenant reports.

The building has undergone regular inspections and has maintained an active compliance record, with recent inspections (2023-2025) consistently passing rodent inspections, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in May 2021. The property has shown attention to pest control matters, with an established track record of bedbug reporting compliance. Between 2021 and 2025, the building filed annual bedbug reports showing zero cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation during the previous three filing periods.

In 2023-2024, the building did receive a Notice of Violation regarding the failure to file the annual bedbug report, but subsequent filings have shown continued compliance. The most recent Department of Buildings permit (issued September 2022) appears to be for electrical work (EW type permit), alluding to ongoing maintenance of building systems. While the building has had its share of maintenance challenges, particularly in 2020-2021, the recent pattern of passing inspections and zero reported infestations suggests improved management practices, though the past heat/hot water issue and brief period of rat activity should still be noted as significant events in the building's history.
