252 West 136th Street, Manhattan, NY 10030

The three-story, four-unit residential building at 252 West 136th Street in Harlem, owned by Christina Fernandez, has a documented history spanning several years since its 1910 construction. The property has undergone consistent rodent inspections from 2018 through early 2025, with all inspections passing successfully, particularly notable is the most recent rodent inspection result from March 2025.

Though there was one rat sighting complaint reported to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in January 2019, this was resolved by inspection and the problem appears to have been effectively managed since then. The building has faced recurring housing maintenance code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2023, receiving three class A violations between 2021-2023 concerning the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules.

However, recent bedbug reporting from December 2023 shows no infested dwelling units, eradicated units, or re-infested units between November 2022 and October 2023, suggesting successful resolution of this issue. The most recent bedbug filing in December 2023 indicates proper compliance with reporting requirements, following previous violations. The consistent passing of rodent inspections over the years, combined with the recent clean record regarding bedbugs, suggests improved management of pest-related issues in recent years, though the building's history of violations indicates there was previously some concern around compliance with housing maintenance codes.
