102 West 119th Street, Manhattan, NY 10026

The 6-story, 16-unit building at 102 West 119th Street in Harlem, built in 1901 and currently owned by Restoring Communities Housing Development Fund Corp, has experienced several notable issues over the past two years. Most concerning is a recent pattern of rodent-related complaints, with multiple reports filed between August 2024 and November 2024, including violations found by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. Additionally, there are persistent open complaints from 2023 regarding building security systems (door/window and intercom issues) that remain unresolved.

The building's mechanical systems have prompted some attention, with three boiler-related complaints filed between October 2023 and January 2024, though inspections did not result in violations. The elevator system has been a recurring focus, with several complaints between 2019 and 2022 about single device operation and other issues, suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges. The property also has documented violations related to required inspections, with active violations issued for failing to file external low pressure inspections for 2018, 2020, and 2023.

A hazardous indoor air quality complaint regarding chemical vapors was filed in October 2023, though it's unclear what follow-up actions were taken. The building's recent bedbug reporting from June 2025 indicates no infestations or eradications during the 2023-2024 filing period, suggesting this is not an active concern currently. While some past complaints have been resolved or dismissed, including an excessive debris complaint and a work without permit complaint in 2024, the pattern of recent rodent complaints and unresolved security system issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges that may impact resident comfort.
