120 West 121st Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

120 West 121st Street is a four-story, four-unit Old Law Single Room Occupancy building located in Harlem, constructed in 1890, and currently owned by Edward Hillel. The property has experienced consistent bedbug reporting violations over the past four years, with the most recent being a citation in April 2024 for failure to file the annual bedbug report, with similar violations noted in 2023, 2022, and 2021.

However, the building's bedbug reporting history from 2021 through 2024 shows no documented infestations, with all reports indicating zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero reinfested units. The building has demonstrated strong compliance with rodent inspections, passing all twelve inspections conducted since 2019, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in December 2019. An external low-pressure inspection violation was issued in April 2023 and remains active as of October 2023.

While the frequency of bedbug report violations is noteworthy, the absence of actual infestations according to the reporting requirements is a positive indicator. The building has maintained a generally good record in terms of rodent control, with inspectors consistently reporting successful compliance. The most recent rodent inspections in 2025 and 2024 both resulted in passing grades, continuing a pattern of effective pest management.
