165 West 122nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

The 4-story, 5-unit brownstone at 165 West 122nd Street in Harlem, built in 1890 and currently owned by Jay Newhouse, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past five years. Most significantly, in late 2019, the building faced multiple heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building, though these issues were reportedly resolved before the HPD's follow-up inspections.

In September 2019, Unit 4A was found to have multiple violations including non-compliance with carbon monoxide and smoke detector requirements, as well as sanitation issues with accumulated refuse, while early 2022 inspections noted the need for bedbug reporting compliance and various maintenance issues including problems with floor tiles in the public hall. The building has demonstrated consistent improvement in recent years, particularly in rodent management, with all inspections from 2022 through mid-2025 passing without recorded violations.

While there were some rodent activity reports in 2021, subsequent inspections have shown no further issues. The building maintained a clean bedbug record from 2019 through 2025, with no reported infestations or re-infestations during any of the required reporting periods. The most recent rodent inspection in July 2025 confirmed continued compliance with health and cleanliness standards, suggesting effective ongoing maintenance practices.
