209 West 121st Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

The three-unit residential building at 209 West 121st Street in Harlem, owned by Tobias Ziegler, was constructed in 1920 and has undergone a conversion to Class A status. The property has experienced several significant health and safety issues over the past few years, though conditions appear to have improved recently.

Notably, there were multiple violations in 2021-2023 related to the failure to file mandatory bedbug reports, which were classified as Class A violations under the Housing Maintenance Code. These violations preceded a period of consistent compliance, as evidenced by the current bedbug reports filed in 2024-2025 showing zero infested dwelling units. The building has had a documented history of rodent issues, with the most concerning incidents occurring in 2021 when rat activity was confirmed during inspections in May and July.

Following these events, the property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with all recent tests from 2022 through 2025 showing "Passed" results. The most recent rodent inspection on May 7, 2025, was conducted as an initial inspection and passed without issues, suggesting improved pest management and maintenance protocols. The building's annual inspections and reporting requirements have been consistently met since 2022, indicating improved compliance with housing regulations over the past few years.
