52 East 120th Street, Manhattan, NY 10035

The four-story, three-unit residential building at 52 East 120th Street in East Harlem, owned by Gilbert Assoko, has been consistently monitored for compliance with housing regulations since its construction in 2001. Most notably, the building has recurring open violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, with citations issued in 2024, 2023, and 2022.

These violations are classified as Class A, which typically indicates a violation of the Housing Maintenance Code that may not pose an immediate danger to life but affects habitability or resident comfort. The building's bedbug reporting history, covering the 2019-2020 period, indicated no infestation issues during that time frame. The property has maintained a generally positive record in other inspection areas, particularly concerning rodent control, with successful passing results in all inspections from 2021 through 2025, demonstrating effective pest management.

The only inspection failure during this period occurred in July 2021 for "Other Reasons," though specific details were not provided in the available data. The building has secured necessary permits for work, with two permits issued for "EW" (presumably indicating electrical work or equipment) under job number 141003937, in January 2023 and August 2021, suggesting proper regulatory compliance for building modifications. While the recurring bedbug report violations are noteworthy, the building's recent record shows no reported bedbug issues, and its successful rodent control program indicates proactive maintenance practices are in place.
