244 West 122nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10027
Located in Harlem, 244 West 122nd Street is a 5-story, 11-unit residential building constructed in 1910 and owned by Bennat Berger. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent cluster of complaints in April 2025 involving plumbing (bathtub/shower), mold, wall conditions, and flooring problems. Notably, a flooring violation was issued during this inspection.
Looking back, the building has faced recurring issues with unsanitary conditions, including multiple mold complaints (2024 and 2025), pest infestations (2024), and heat/hot water problems (2024). The building's maintenance history also reveals persistent rodent control challenges, with "Rat Activity" documented during inspections in 2021, 2022, and 2023, though recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have passed. Two apartments (2A and 4A) have been specifically noted for multiple violations, including mice infestations, with 2A also having issues with hot water temperature and various sanitary conditions.
The building's maintenance record shows some improvement over time, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years (2020-2025) and recent rodent inspections passing. However, several violations remain open from 2022-2024, including pest infestations and interior maintenance issues. The property has undergone some permitted work as evidenced by two permits issued in late 2018 for plumbing and electrical work. While the building's recent history shows active response to maintenance issues, with many complaints being investigated and closed, the pattern of recurring problems suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
