138 West 136th Street, Manhattan, NY 10030

The three-unit, three-story building at 138 West 136th Street in Harlem, owned by David Gale, was constructed in 1899 and currently maintains an open status with several notable housing maintenance code violations. Most significantly, there is an ongoing pattern of violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations on record from 2021 through 2024 showing the building has repeatedly failed to file the mandatory annual bedbug reports required by the Housing Maintenance Code.

While these violations themselves do not necessarily indicate an active pest problem, they suggest a lack of adherence to required safety protocols. On a positive note, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections over the past five years, with the most recent inspection in June 2025 showing compliance.

The property has maintained a strong record of passing these inspections, with results indicating effective pest management practices in place. The consistent pattern of bedbug report violations is the most significant concern on record, as these violations indicate non-compliance with housing safety regulations, though it should be noted that these violations relate specifically to reporting requirements rather than direct pest presence.
