61 Morningside Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10027
61 Morningside Avenue is a historic five-story, five-unit old-law tenement building in Harlem, constructed in 1901 and currently owned by Mikail Abdussamad. The building has experienced recurring rodent issues, particularly evident during 2024, with multiple inspections showing rat activity and the application of bait in February 2024.
While the most recent rodent inspections in 2025 and late 2024 resulted in "Passed" designations, the building's pest management history shows a pattern of ongoing vermin challenges. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with five consecutive annual bedbug reports (2021-2024) filed showing zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units, though the building received four Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2022-2024 specifically related to the requirement to file these reports (all subsequently closed).
The building's health and safety record presents a mixed picture: while it has consistently passed Department of Health and Mental Hygiene inspections (including in response to a 2022 rat sighting complaint), the persistent rodent issues and the previous violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements indicate some challenges in property maintenance. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2022, demonstrating proper adherence to this particular housing maintenance requirement, despite the initial violations. Recent pest control measures have shown some effectiveness, with the most recent rodent inspections passing, though the frequency of rodent-related incidents suggests this remains an area requiring ongoing attention.
