118 West 132nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10027
The 6-unit, 3-story building at 118 West 132nd Street in Harlem, built in 1894 and currently owned by Charles Rector, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. Most notably, there is an open violation from 2022 requiring the building to file its annual bedbug report, with similar violations issued in 2021-2024 that remain active without certification.
The building has faced recurring problems with rodent activity, particularly in 2024, with two inspections in April 2024 showing rat activity, though more recent inspections in 2025 and November 2024 passed. Heating system reliability has been another concern, with a building-wide heat/hot water complaint filed in March 2024, though inspectors could not gain access to verify the condition. The property has also had two complaints about illegal hotel rooms (July and December 2022), though in both cases, inspectors were unable to gain access.
More recently, in June 2023, a violation was issued for failure to file the 2018 external low-pressure inspection. Recent 311 complaints include an October 2024 issue regarding unsanitary garbage/recycling storage, which was investigated but found not to violate housing laws. While the building has had multiple maintenance issues, it's worth noting that several inspections have passed, particularly in 2023-2025, suggesting some improvements in building conditions.
