125 West 116th Street, Manhattan, NY 10026
The 16-unit, 6-story tenement building at 125 West 116th Street in Harlem, owned by Nick Murphy, has experienced consistent heating system issues over the past year, with multiple emergency complaints regarding lack of heat and hot water throughout 2024-2025, including a recent building-wide complaint in May 2025 that was eventually resolved. The building has also faced significant pest control challenges, particularly with rodent activity, as evidenced by numerous bait application visits throughout 2024-2025, with documented rat activity in multiple inspections.
A comprehensive inspection of Apartment 2B in July 2024 revealed several maintenance issues, including the presence of roaches, missing smoke detector, defective carbon monoxide detector, and window guard deficiencies, though these were certified as corrected by August-September 2024. Additional violations of concern were noted in Apartment 6C regarding lead paint hazards and necessary repairs to various safety devices, including the building's front entrance door self-closing mechanism.
The building's history also shows periodic bedbug infestations being reported between 2018 and 2022, though no infestations were reported in the most recent three reporting periods (2022-2024). Between 2020 and 2023, three Local Law compliance inspections were conducted with no violations noted, and complaints from 2022 and 2023 regarding work without permits and failure to maintain were found to warrant no violations upon inspection.
