148 West 133rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10030

The 9-unit, 3-story building at 148 West 133rd Street in Harlem, owned by Theda Saxton, has been in operation since 1910 and is currently classified as a converted Class A building. The property has experienced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance over the past several years, with open violations noted in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by the Housing Maintenance Code.

These violations, while administrative in nature, suggest ongoing challenges with meeting HPD reporting requirements. Historically, the building had significant maintenance issues in 1997, particularly affecting apartment 3F, where multiple violations were recorded including problems with the intercom system, gas supply, electrical service, and window fittings.

However, these violations were all closed by March 2019, indicating successful resolution of these past issues. The building's recent rodent inspections show promising results, with the most recent inspection in June 2025 passing as "Passed," and previous inspections in 2024 and 2023 also indicating compliance, though there was one instance of "Rat Activity" noted in June 2023. This pattern suggests generally improving pest control conditions, though maintenance of these standards will require continued attention.
