239 West 135th Street, Manhattan, NY 10030

The 12-unit, 6-story residential building at 239 West 135th Street in Harlem, owned by Robin Weaver and constructed in 2008, has experienced several pest-related issues over the past few years. Most notably, there have been three documented instances of rodent-related complaints, with the most recent occurring in May 2023, though the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found no violations at that time.

In December 2021, an unsanitary condition complaint regarding pests was filed with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), but inspectors were unable to gain access to investigate. While there was a confirmed violation of rodent problems in August 2021, subsequent inspections have shown consistent compliance, with all rodent inspections since then - including the most recent in April 2025 - being passed. The building has also faced issues regarding bedbug reporting compliance, with open violations for failing to file the required annual bedbug reports in 2024 and 2023.

However, the building's documented bedbug history shows no infestation issues in the reporting periods of 2020-2021 and 2019-2020, with zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units recorded in both filings. Despite the pest-related concerns, it is worth noting that all recent rodent inspections have been passed, indicating that the current pest management protocols are effective in addressing rodent issues when they arise. The most recent inspection records show regular monitoring and compliance with rodent control requirements, with no new violations or complaints reported since mid-2023.
