348 West 123rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

The three-story, eight-unit building at 348 West 123rd Street in Harlem, owned by William Lewis, has several significant ongoing compliance issues as of 2025. Most notably, the building has been consistently cited since 2021 for failing to file mandatory annual bedbug reports, with the most recent violation recorded in April 2024 remaining open.

The property is also facing multiple active violations from the Department of Buildings related to low pressure inspections, with six violations issued between April and September 2023 for failing to file required external low pressure inspection reports for the years 2018 through 2023. Additionally, there is an unresolved violation from 2020 regarding an annual boiler inspection report from 2017.

On a more positive note, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections, with the most recent inspections in 2025, 2024, and 2023 all showing satisfactory results. The property, built in 1920 and classified as a New Law Single Room Occupancy building, has maintained its rodent-free status through regular inspections, demonstrating compliance in this area despite the persistent issues with bedbug reporting and low pressure system documentation. The persistence of the bedbug reporting violations over multiple years, along with the pattern of failing to provide required safety inspections for both the low pressure system and boiler, suggests ongoing challenges with maintaining compliance with housing maintenance codes.
