317 West 120th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027
317 West 120th Street is a 5-story, 10-unit residential building in Harlem, constructed in 1901 and currently owned by Jay Newhouse. The property has experienced recurring rodent issues, with multiple service requests and inspections showing rat activity throughout 2023, 2024, and into 2025. Most recent inspections in July 2025 showed continued rodent activity, while previous inspections in 2024 and early 2025 had mixed outcomes, with some passing inspections but generally indicating persistent pest control challenges.
The building has undergone several inspections and service requests regarding basic services and maintenance, including heat and hot water issues in early 2024 (affecting the entire building) which passed inspection, and garbage/recycling storage concerns in September 2024 which were verified and corrected. The building's maintenance history reveals various compliance requirements, including a recent active violation from April 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2022 external low-pressure inspection. While there have been multiple bedbug reports filed between 2019 and 2024, all indicating zero infested or eradicated units.
A construction-related complaint from 2022 was investigated but found no violations. The property has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance, with no documented infestations in recent years. Recent violations have centered more on general maintenance issues rather than major structural or safety concerns, though the ongoing rodent activity suggests continued challenges with pest management.
