134 West 120th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027
The 9-unit, 3-story building at 134 West 120th Street in Harlem, owned by Shannon Ayers and built in 1887, has experienced several notable issues in recent years. Most concerning are the repeated failures to comply with bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations documented in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021.
The building has also encountered significant problems with its low-pressure boiler maintenance, with active violations filed in 2024 for failure to submit required annual inspection reports dating back to 2019, for which a penalty of $625 has been imposed. Multiple DOB violations remain unresolved, including failures to file external low-pressure inspection reports for 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023, which potentially compromises building safety systems. While there was a complaint about building shaking or vibrating in September 2022, this was investigated and found to warrant no violations at that time.
On a more positive note, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections from 2017 through 2025, indicating effective pest management in this respect. However, the persistent nature of the bedbug report violations and the multiple outstanding boiler inspection issues suggest ongoing challenges with compliance to housing maintenance requirements, which may affect resident comfort and safety. The building, classified as a NEW LAW SINGLE ROOM OCCUPANCY structure, continues to operate under the ownership of Shannon Ayers with these notable compliance issues.
