109 West 128th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

The three-story, four-unit residential building at 109 West 128th Street in Harlem, owned by Monroe H&c Llc Et Al and constructed in 1910, has experienced persistent pest management challenges in recent years, particularly with rodent infestations.

From 2023 to 2025, the property has undergone multiple rodent inspections, with consistent findings of rat activity throughout 2023-2024, and the most recent inspection in April 2025 resulted in a failed compliance status citing "Other Reasons." The building has also faced various rodent-related complaints and inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, including a 2021 complaint about conditions attracting rodents that resulted in violations requiring follow-up inspections, and a 2021 report concerning bees/wasps that remains unresolved as of October 2023. The property has maintained an active record of complying with bedbug reporting requirements, with annual filings submitted between 2021 and 2023, showing zero documented infestations during the reporting periods from 2019 through 2022.

Notably, the building has had recurring Housing Maintenance Code violations regarding the annual bedbug report filings, with these violations recorded between 2021 and 2024, though they appear to have been resolved in subsequent inspections. While bedbug concerns seem to have been properly managed through documentation and reporting compliance, the persistent rodent issues represent a significant ongoing challenge for the building, with multiple inspections across different years consistently confirming rodent activity.
