Augrented Insights Report for 166 West 120th Street

The 5-story, 12-unit tenement building at 166 West 120th Street in Harlem, currently owned by Craig Livingston, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues since late 2024, particularly concerning heat and hot water systems. From December 2024 through June 2025, there were multiple complaints and violations related to inadequate heat and hot water, including several emergency complaints for the entire building. Specific violations were documented for apartment 2B regarding hot water and heating issues, which were certified as corrected in January 2025.

The building has also faced plumbing challenges, with an emergency water supply violation in January 2025 and an open complaint from December 2024 regarding a sink issue. In addition to these concerns, the building has had significant safety and maintenance issues. A locked bedroom door in apartment 5B was documented in February 2023 as violating egress requirements, resulting in a $1,250 fine.

Multiple rodent inspections throughout 2024 and 2025 have revealed rat activity, with the most recent inspections in May 2025 showing bait applied, though prior inspections indicated compliance failures. The most recent complaint as of June 2025 involved indoor air quality concerns related to construction dust. While the building's bedbug reports from 2021 to 2025 show no recorded infestations, the persistence of heat/hot water and plumbing issues, along with ongoing rodent management needs, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
