135 West 119th Street, Manhattan, NY 10026
The three-story, 10-unit building at 135 West 119th Street in Harlem, owned by Malcolm Punter, has a concerning pattern of maintenance issues dating back several years. Most significantly, the building has multiple open violations regarding annual bedbug report filings from 2021 through 2024, and active violations related to annual low-pressure inspections from 2018 through 2023, suggesting serious lapses in required safety compliance for building systems.
The property has experienced recurring rodent problems, with multiple complaints recorded between 2019 and 2020, including several rat sightings and conditions attracting rodents. Most recently, in 2025, the building passed an initial rodent inspection, though there were periods of rat activity and failures in earlier inspections in 2024 and 2023.
The building's inspection history reveals a mix of compliance and non-compliance with health and safety standards, with particular attention needed on the unresolved violations regarding pest management and building safety inspections, including a recent violation for failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection. While some recent inspections have shown passing results, the frequency of previous rodent issues and the number of open violations suggest an ongoing need for careful monitoring of building conditions.
