509 West 112th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

The 6-story, 18-unit building at 509 West 112th Street in Morningside Heights, owned by David Greenberg, has experienced several notable events since 2018 that warrant attention. Most recently, in April 2024, violations were issued regarding an emergency situation involving missing center handrails at the building's stoop, following a complaint about the outside building conditions. The building has maintained an excellent record regarding pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in any of the recent five consecutive annual reports from 2020-2024, and has consistently passed rodent inspections between 2016 and 2025.

However, there are significant ongoing concerns with the building's exterior maintenance and elevator systems. An active violation from November 2022 relates to failure to maintain the exterior building facade, with inspectors noting defective/ degraded facade stones and cracks on stucco in multiple locations. Additionally, there was an elevator-related violation in December 2018 that resulted in an Oath Violation being served, and multiple elevator maintenance issues were documented in the 2018 violation listing.

The building's maintenance history shows regular inspection compliance, with all bedbug reports indicating zero infested units and consistent rodent inspection passing. The property has been active in filing required reports, including annual bedbug reports and regular rodent inspections, and several permits were issued in 2020-2021 for unspecified work. Between 2021-2024, the building underwent annual bedbug reporting requirements and consistently passed rodent inspections, demonstrating good overall pest control management. While the building has had various violations over the years, most have been resolved relatively quickly, though the exterior facade violation from 2022 and the most recent stoop handrail violations remain of particular note.
