414 East 120th Street, Manhattan, NY 10035

The 6-story, 12-unit residential building at 414 East 120th Street in East Harlem, owned by Cheskel Schwimmer, was constructed in 2006 and has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. Most notably, there are currently five active violations related to the failure to file external low-pressure inspections for the years 2018 through 2022, which were issued all at once in June 2023.

The building has documented elevator and fire safety concerns, including a 2020 violation for an expired fire extinguisher, non-functioning phone, and missing door lock monitoring system, which resulted in a $3,125 penalty. In 2020, there was also an issue with the elevator's single-device operation with no alternate service.

The building's bedbug infestation reports have been consistently clean over the past four years (2021-2025), with no documented cases of infestation, eradications, or re-infestations, as confirmed in the most recent report filed in December 2024. Similarly, rodent inspections conducted regularly from 2017 through 2025 have consistently passed, indicating effective pest management. While the building has experienced various code violations and regulatory challenges, particularly regarding fire safety and elevator systems, the management has maintained an effective pest control program with no recorded incidents of bedbug or rodent infestations in recent years.
