359 West 121st Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

359 West 121st Street is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building in Harlem, owned by Everett Smith, that was constructed in 1901 as an Old Law Single Room Occupancy structure. The building has maintained a generally good record of compliance with various city regulations over recent years.

While there were two Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2022 and 2023 regarding the late filing of bedbug reports, these violations are now closed and the most recent bedbug filings (for the 2022-2023 period) show no infested or eradicated units. The building has also had one active Department of Buildings violation related to a 2022 external low-pressure inspection that was due but not filed as of April 2023. A significant positive aspect of this property's maintenance record is its consistent passing of rodent inspections, with the most recent inspection in June 2025 marking the tenth consecutive pass, demonstrating ongoing attention to pest control.

The building has reportedly experienced no bedbug infestations during the past five years, based on the required annual reporting, and the most recent bedbug reports from 2023 show no units with infestation history. A work without permit complaint filed in September 2024 was investigated on the same day and resulted in no warranted violations. Although there have been some regulatory violations in the past, particularly regarding bedbug reporting and the external low-pressure inspection, these issues appear to have been addressed, with the bedbug reporting requirements being properly met in recent filings.
