266 West 123rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

The five-story, 20-unit OLD LAW TENEMENT building at 266 West 123rd Street in Harlem, owned by Bridget Beatty and constructed in 1910, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. The most pressing concerns have been multiple water leak incidents, with violations documented in 2023-2024, particularly affecting Apartment 5C and a public hall on the fifth floor.

These leaks prompted three Class B violations in April 2024, specifically requiring repairs to address water damage at various locations, including the east wall of 5C and the public hall. The building also had multiple emergency service requests in late 2023 involving window frame issues, roofing concerns, and various wall problems, though these inspections did not result in violations. Earlier maintenance records from 2023 included issues with electrical systems, including wiring and outlet problems, as well as plumbing concerns related to radiators.

The property has shown consistent compliance with rodent control requirements, passing multiple inspections from 2018 through 2025, with the most recent inspection in July 2025 showing successful compliance. Moreover, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual reports since 2019 indicating zero infested units. While the building has had its share of maintenance challenges, particularly regarding water damage and window issues in recent years, the regular passing of rodent inspections and bedbug-free status suggests effective pest management and pest control measures in place at the property.
