229 West 120th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027
The four-story, three-unit converted New Law tenement at 229 West 120th Street in Harlem, owned by Erik Linton, has experienced several concerning health and safety issues over recent years. The building has undergone four consecutive bedbug inspections from 2021 to 2024, with the most recent inspection in April 2024 showing no infested units, following a period from November 2022 to October 2023 with no reported infestations or eradications.
Of particular note is the building's rodent control history, which reveals a pattern of rat activity between 2022 and 2023, including inspections in April 2023 (showing rat activity) and August 2022 (also showing rat activity). However, since this period of rodent issues, the building has passed multiple rodent inspections between 2023 and 2025, suggesting improvements in pest management.
The property has had consistent oversight regarding its rodent and bedbug management, with regular inspections and reports filed to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) and compliance with Housing Maintenance Code requirements. While the building's rodent activity appears to have been addressed successfully in recent years, the earlier 2019 rat sightings and the multiple bedbug violations from 2021 through 2024 indicate historical challenges with pest control. The most recent rodent inspection in April 2025 continues the trend of passing inspections, though it's worth noting that all bedbug violations from 2021 to 2024 were related to reporting requirements rather than actual infestations, and the building has maintained a zero infestation status in recent filings.
