122 West 131st Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

122 West 131st Street is a three-story, four-unit residential building constructed in 1885 in Harlem, currently owned by Adam Belachew. The building has experienced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, receiving violations in 2022, 2023, and most recently in 2024 for failing to file required annual bedbug reports, though the most recent report for the period ending October 2024 indicates no infested units.

The property had an illegal security feature removed in 2021 from a basement apartment entrance, which had been improperly secured with a double cylinder key lock. There have been three significant complaints to the Department of Buildings over the past four years: regarding an alleged illegal conversion in 2025, a sweep complaint in 2023, and a certificate of occupancy issue in 2021, though no violations were substantiated in any of these investigations. A violation was issued in 2023 concerning a failure to file an external low-pressure inspection, but this was dismissed later that year.

The building has maintained a consistent record of rodent inspection compliance, passing all inspections conducted between 2017 and 2025, which suggests effective pest management in this regard. Multiple plumbing (PL) and alteration (AL) permits have been issued for the property between 2018 and 2023, indicating regular maintenance and possible improvements being undertaken, though specific details of the work were not provided in the data. While the bedbug reporting violations show a pattern of non-compliance, it's worth noting that the most recent bedbug report and inspections have shown no current infestations, and the property has consistently passed rodent inspections, suggesting improvements in pest management practices over time.
