61 East 130th Street, Manhattan, NY 10037
The 4-story, 5-unit building at 61 East 130th Street in East Harlem, owned by Aretha Blake and constructed in 1926, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, between March and April 2024, the property had emergency safety concerns related to a broken window guard and smoke detector, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) found no violations in these cases.
The building has also faced both rodent and bedbug management challenges, with multiple inspections and treatments documented between 2023 and 2025. While the most recent rodent inspections from June 2025 show the building as having passed these inspections, earlier records from 2024 indicate periods of rat activity and the need for bait application.
There are current open violations regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports and to provide required lead-based paint-related records and notifications, which were issued in March 2024 and March 2024 respectively. The building's historical records show a consistent pattern of bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2024, with the most recent filing in 2022 indicating no infested units during the previous reporting period.
