120 West 114th Street, Manhattan, NY 10026

The 5-story, 10-unit old law tenement at 120 West 114th Street in Harlem, owned by Steve Zervoudis, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past two years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heating and hot water systems, with emergency service requests recorded in February 2025, December 2024, May 2024, and November 2023, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. The property has also faced multiple indoor air quality concerns in early 2024, including incidents involving chemical vapors, sewage odors, and other unspecified issues, with at least one inspector unable to gain access during an investigation.

Plumbing issues have been another recurring theme, as evidenced by emergency service requests in February 2024. There was also a refrigerator appliance issue in July 2023 that took approximately two weeks to resolve. The building has maintained a relatively clean record regarding pest management, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past seven annual reporting periods from 2019 to 2025.

A rodent inspection in April 2025 passed, following similar passes in October 2024 and other recent inspections. However, the building's recent maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic services, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems, which have been the subject of multiple emergency complaints and service requests. The building's age (constructed in 1900) and classification as an old law tenement suggest it may be dealing with typical infrastructure challenges faced by many similar buildings in New York City.
