164 West 123rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

164 West 123rd Street is a 4-story, 5-unit residential building in Harlem, constructed in 1884 and currently owned by Bestar Mujai. The property has experienced recurring issues requiring attention to housing maintenance code compliance over several years.

Most notably, there are three open violations from 2022, 2023, and 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, which is a continuing pattern since at least 2021. The building also had an emergency mold complaint in 2021 that HPD could not inspect due to access issues. While the most recent rodent inspections from 2025 show consistent passing results throughout the year, there was one instance of rat activity noted in May 2022.

The building has documented its bedbug management practices, showing zero infested units and successful eradication efforts during the 2019-2020 filing period, though this record has not been updated in subsequent reporting periods. Historical records from 2018 indicate several important safety notice requirements that were presumably addressed, including carbon monoxide detector requirements, smoke detector requirements, and gas leak procedures, all of which were certified as corrected in February 2018. The property has maintained regular rodent inspections with generally positive results, suggesting active management of pest control, though the ongoing bedbug report violation indicates potential lapses in compliance with other health and safety requirements.
