256 West 136th Street, Manhattan, NY 10030
The three-story, four-unit residential building at 256 West 136th Street in Harlem, owned by Hilary King, has experienced persistent rodent-related issues over the past two years. Most recently, in 2024, there were multiple complaints about rodent sightings and conditions attracting rodents, with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) conducting several inspections between March 2024 and May 2025.
Inspection results show a mix of passed and failed inspections, with the most recent inspection in May 2025 resulting in bait application. The building has also faced challenges with pest management, as evidenced by a 2024 complaint regarding unsanitary conditions and pests that could not be inspected due to access issues. The property has a documented history of requiring annual bedbug reporting to comply with Housing Maintenance Code requirements, with violations noted in 2021, 2022, and 2023 regarding the failure to file required reports.
Two non-emergency complaints were filed in 2021 - one related to an intercom system issue and another regarding unsanitary conditions due to pests. While the bedbug reporting in 2024-2025 indicates no infested, eradicated, or re-infested dwelling units during the 2022-2023 period, the persistent rodent activity and recent bait application in May 2025 suggest ongoing challenges with pest management in the building. The property is classified as a "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A" building and was constructed in 1910.
