242 West 123rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10027
This three-story, 10-unit SRO building at 242 West 123rd Street in Harlem, owned by Rene Calvo, has been subject to regular inspections and monitoring since its construction in 1910. The building has consistently maintained its SRO classification under New York's New Law, with no reported changes in occupancy use. Recent records show one active DOB violation issued in September 2024 regarding the failure to file the 2023 External Low Pressure Inspection report, though this is the only outstanding violation on record.
The building's maintenance history includes four consecutive years (2021-2024) receiving similar Housing Maintenance Code violations for not filing the annual bedbug report, though these violations were promptly addressed and closed. The property has maintained a strong record in terms of pest management and overall building safety. Bedbug reports filed from 2021 through 2025 indicate zero infested units, with the most recent filings showing no infestations during the specified periods.
Additionally, the building has consistently passed all rodent inspections, with the latest results from 2025 showing continued compliance. A complaint investigation in 2018 regarding alleged illegal work was conducted but ultimately unsubstantiated based on department records. The building received a permit in September 2022 for electrical work (#141020400), which was issued and recorded in the system.
