231 West 113th Street, Manhattan, NY 10026

The three-story, two-unit residential building at 231 West 113th Street in Harlem, owned by Nathaniel Cook and built in 1890, has a notable history of bedbug report filing violations and generally good rodent control outcomes. Most concerning are the four open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021 through 2024, all citing non-compliance with the requirement to file annual bedbug reports, as mandated under § HMC.

While these violations do not necessarily indicate a current bedbug infestation, they reflect ongoing administrative non-compliance with city regulations. In terms of rodent control, the building has maintained a favorable record since 2019, with regular inspections showing passed results in 2020, 2021, and continuing through to mid-2025.

The only exception was a single instance of rat activity recorded in December 2019, but subsequent inspections have consistently shown compliance. The most recent inspection in June 2025, along with all other inspections from 2023-2024, passed without issue, suggesting effective ongoing rodent management. The building's conversion to Class A status is noted, indicating its current designation as a regulated multiple dwelling.
