133 West 118th Street, Manhattan, NY 10026

The 4-unit, 3-story residential building at 133 West 118th Street in Harlem, owned by Charles Ogunro, has been in operation since 1899 and currently holds a "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS B" designation. The building has experienced recurring issues with bedbug report compliance, as evidenced by open violations in 2023 and 2024, despite having a clear record from 2021-2022 showing no infested units.

Three separate complaints regarding illegal conversions and illegal hotel rooms in residential buildings were filed between 2018-2023, all resulting in access denial to inspectors on their second attempts. The property has multiple active violations related to boiler inspections, specifically for failing to file external low-pressure inspection reports for 2017, 2018, and 2019, as of June 2023. On a positive note, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections over the past several years, with the most recent inspections in 2025, 2024, and 2023 showing no issues.

The building's bedbug reporting history indicates that between 2020-2021, there were no infestations requiring reporting, and all previously infested units had been successfully eradicated with no re-infestation. While the property has ongoing issues with compliance to filing requirements, particularly concerning bedbug reports and boiler inspections, it has maintained a clean record in terms of pest control as demonstrated by the consistent passing of rodent inspections. The most recent rodent inspection passed in April 2025 suggests that current pest management practices are effective, despite the earlier bedbug reporting violations.
