138 West 118th Street, Manhattan, NY 10026
The three-story, two-unit residential building at 138 West 118th Street in Harlem, owned by Terrence Mann and constructed in 1896, has experienced significant maintenance challenges over recent years. The property has consistently failed to file required annual bedbug reports, with this violation remaining open since at least 2021 through the most recent inspection in April 2024, showing a concerning pattern of non-compliance with housing maintenance requirements.
Additionally, there are two active DOB violations regarding inspection filing failures: one for external low pressure inspection in 2018 (issued June 2023) and another for boiler inspection in 2017 (issued January 2020). The building has faced recurring rodent issues, particularly in 2024 and 2023, with multiple inspections showing rat activity. Most recently, in summer 2024, there were instances of rat activity recorded in June and July, though subsequent inspections showed improvement with a "Passed" result in June 2025.
The property underwent several rodent control interventions, including bait application in September 2024, though there were also failures noted during compliance inspections. Despite these persistent challenges, the most recent 2025 rodent inspection passed, suggesting some improvement in pest management. The building's maintenance record indicates ongoing concerns with both pest control and compliance with basic housing regulations, though there are indications of some progress in more recent inspections.
