132 West 136th Street, Manhattan, NY 10030

132 West 136th Street is a three-story, two-unit residential building in Harlem, owned by Emily Emeneker and constructed in 1910. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and inspection events over the past few years. Most notably, there was a rat sighting reported in May 2023, though subsequent Department of Health inspections did not find any violations.

The property has consistently failed to file its required Annual Bedbug Reports from 2021 through 2024, receiving multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations for this issue, though recent filings from mid-2024 show no infested units or eradication cases. The building has maintained regular rodent inspection compliance, with all inspections passing except for one instance in December 2024 where rat activity was noted. The Department of Buildings issued several violations from 2018 through 2024 related to failure to file external low-pressure inspection reports, all of which were subsequently dismissed.

Historical violations from 2011 and 2012 regarding inadequate front entrance lighting were addressed, as was an older violation from 1975 concerning sprinkler system equipment requirements. Recent permits issued in 2019 and 2024 suggest ongoing maintenance and potential upgrades to building systems, with specific focus on plumbing and electrical work. The property's record shows generally good compliance with health and safety regulations, though the pattern of bedbug report violations and occasional pest activity indicates areas requiring attention.
