119 West 118th Street, Manhattan, NY 10026

The three-story, four-unit residential building at 119 West 118th Street in Harlem, owned by Scarlett Farray and built in 1900 as a New Law Single Room Occupancy, has experienced a series of maintenance and safety compliance issues in recent years. Most notably, there are multiple active violations as of 2023 related to the failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2018-2021, and an active penalty of $1,250 from 2022 related to improper storage of oil and gas materials in the basement area.

The building has also had recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, with open violations as recent as April 2024, although the official bedbug filings in late 2023 indicate no infested units during the reporting periods from 2019 to 2022. The property has generally maintained good rodent control, passing all inspections between 2017 and 2025.

While there was a gas utility referral complaint in 2021 that resulted in an Oath violation served in early 2022, this appears to have been addressed. The building's recent history shows a pattern of regulatory non-compliance primarily related to safety inspections and reporting requirements, with the most recent active violations focusing on pressure system inspections and hazardous material handling. However, the maintenance of basic building systems shows improvement, with consistent rodent inspection compliance and apparent resolution of some previous issues as indicated by closed violations.
