207 West 121st Street, Manhattan, NY 10027
The 5-unit, 3-story building at 207 West 121st Street in Harlem, constructed in 1910, is currently owned by BH 207 West 121 LLC and has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years. Most recently, there have been ongoing concerns with rodent activity, with inspections in 2025 and 2024 showing both passed inspections and reports of rat activity.
In February 2024, there was an emergency heat/hot water complaint for the entire building, but inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the issue. The building has faced multiple violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with annual reports consistently showing zero infested or re-infested units from 2019 to 2025. The property has a history of unanswered illegal conversion complaints, particularly in 2020-2021, suggesting unauthorized modifications to the living space.
Multiple environmental violations were issued in 2020 regarding illegal cellar modifications, including the installation of partition walls, plumbing, and an unauthorized bathroom, though these violations were eventually resolved with penalties totaling $10,362. Building safety concerns have been documented, including an active ECB violation from 2021 regarding improper gas piping installation in the boiler room, though most historical violations from the 1987-1999 period have been resolved. The building's records show recurring rat activity through 2025 and some heating system access issues, suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges, though most recent complaints have been promptly addressed, including a February 2024 heat/hot water complaint that was investigated within one day.
