144 West 120th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027
The three-story Old Law Single Room Occupancy building at 144 West 120th Street in Harlem, owned by Lisa Busillo, has a significant history of rodent-related issues, with the most recent inspections in May 2025 showing rat activity in both initial and compliance checks.
Between 2019-2021, the building generally maintained compliance with rodent control requirements, passing multiple inspections. The property has experienced recurring administrative challenges regarding bedbug reporting, with violations issued in both 2022 and 2021 for failure to file annual bedbug reports, though subsequent filings between 2022 and 2024 have consistently reported zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units, suggesting improved compliance with this requirement.
A complaint regarding illegal hotel rooms in the residential building was filed in October 2022, though access was denied on both inspection attempts in November 2022. The building's complex history suggests ongoing challenges with pest control maintenance, particularly concerning rodents, while showing some improvement in bedbug reporting compliance over recent years.
