154 West 121st Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

The 4-story, 8-unit building at 154 West 121st Street in Harlem, owned by Titus Morton, has experienced several notable issues since 2020, with particular emphasis on pest management challenges. While the building has maintained a consistent record of zero reported bedbug infestations over five consecutive annual reporting periods from 2020 through 2025, it has faced ongoing rodent management concerns.

Most recently, in March 2025, the building passed an initial rodent inspection, though it had undergone multiple bait applications in 2024, including five instances between April and September 2024, indicating persistent rodent activity that required ongoing management. The property has a documented history of bedbug reporting violations between 2021 and 2024, though these violations appear to have been addressed as evidenced by the most recent 2025 bedbug report showing no infested units.

The Department of Buildings has issued several permits for the property, including plumbing and general alteration permits in 2019 and 2022, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvement work at the building. While the building has experienced some compliance issues, particularly regarding rodent management, it is worth noting that all recent bedbug reports (2020-2025) have shown consistent documentation of zero infested units, indicating effective management in this particular area despite the previous reporting violations.
