149 West 117th Street, Manhattan, NY 10026

The three-unit residential building at 149 West 117th Street in Harlem, owned by Nachum Turetzky, has maintained a generally favorable health and safety record since its construction in 1998. Most notably, the building has demonstrated consistent pest control success, with no bedbug infestations recorded across the past five years of reporting (2021-2025).

While there was one instance of "Rat Activity" noted during a 2024 inspection, this was an outlier in an otherwise clean rodent inspection history, with all other inspections since 2019 passing successfully. In mid-2023, the building experienced two plumbing-related incidents involving a bathtub/shower and a sink basin, both of which were promptly addressed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) within a week of being reported.

Importantly, no violations were issued following the HPD inspections. Since these incidents, there have been no further plumbing issues reported, and the building has continued to pass all subsequent inspections, including rodent compliance checks in 2025. The property's maintenance record shows regular attention to safety and hygiene standards, with the owner appearing to respond adequately to reported issues as they arise.
