365 West 120th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

365 West 120th Street is a 3-story, 8-unit Old Law Single Room Occupancy building constructed in 1901 and currently owned by Patricia Eaton. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water service, particularly during late 2021 when multiple emergency complaints were filed between September and December, resulting in violations.

More recent concerns include an active violation from June 2023 regarding failure to file required external low-pressure inspections for 2018 and 2020, though this appears to have been addressed in subsequent inspections. While the building originally had problems with rodent activity, as evidenced by rat sightings in 2021-2022 and some inspection failures, recent rodent inspections from 2022 through 2025 have consistently passed, suggesting improved pest control measures. The building's violation history shows several instances requiring attention to bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations from 2022-2024 for not filing annual bedbug reports as mandated by HPD rules.

The property has also undergone multiple rodent inspections since 2021, with all recent inspections from 2022-2025 passing, indicating improved maintenance and pest management. A gas utility referral complaint from August 2021 was closed in early 2022 due to the inspector's inability to gain access. While the building has had persistent maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2021, the current state shows improvement in both rodent control and heat/hot water service, though the open violations regarding bedbug reporting and historical heating system issues merit attention.
