152 West 131st Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

This five-story, five-unit old law tenement building at 152 West 131st Street in Harlem, owned by Roberta Pikser, has a generally strong record of maintenance and compliance since 2019. The building, constructed in 1896, has consistently passed annual rodent inspections from 2017 through 2025, demonstrating effective pest control management.

Recent bedbug reporting requirements have been strictly followed, with the most recent 2025 report showing no infestations (0 units) during the previous reporting period, continuing a pattern established since 2018 with no reported cases. The building's violation history reveals some notable maintenance issues in 2016 specifically related to Apartment 5, including problems with self-closing doors, security locks, and a paint requirement in the entrance foyer.

However, these violations were all officially certified as closed in January 2023. A more recent violation was issued in 2022 regarding the late filing of the annual bedbug report, though this has been rectified with subsequent compliant filings through 2025. The consistent passing of rodent inspections and the absence of reported bedbug infestations in recent years indicate improved building conditions, particularly in terms of pest management, while the resolution of previous housing maintenance code violations suggests effective response to regulatory requirements.
