316 West 116th Street, Manhattan, NY 10026
The 6-story, 14-unit Old Law Tenement building at 316 West 116th Street in Harlem, owned by Oladapo Babatunde, has experienced persistent rodent issues over recent years. The property has recorded multiple rat sightings and conditions attracting rodents between 2019 and 2023, with the most recent inspection in March 2025 passing, though previous inspections in 2024 and 2023 showed rat activity requiring bait application.
Significant regulatory compliance issues have emerged, with active violations as of 2024 for failing to file required energy benchmarking reports, along with a 2020 violation for not submitting the annual boiler inspection report. A comprehensive inspection in July 2022 resulted in multiple violations requiring corrective action, including the need to post various safety notices (carbon monoxide detector requirements, smoke detector requirements, gas leak procedures) and address building security concerns, though most of these violations have since been closed. The building's maintenance history shows some attention to safety requirements, with a bedbug reporting history from 2019-2022 showing no infested units during the specified periods.
While there have been complaints about garbage/recycling storage (March 2022) and other sanitary conditions, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development found no violations in their inspections. Two complaints regarding illegal hotel rooms and sidewalk conditions were investigated in 2020-2021 but resulted in no violations being found. The property has undergone regular rodent control efforts, with multiple bait applications recorded between 2023-2024, though the reduction in rodent activity noted in recent inspections suggests some improvement in conditions.
