167 Morningside Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10027

167 Morningside Avenue is a 5-story, 10-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1901 in Harlem, currently owned by Chad Jewell. The property has experienced persistent sanitary issues in recent months, with multiple complaints regarding pest infestations (particularly involving rats and mice) filed between May and June 2025, resulting in violations being issued to the property owner.

The building is also facing several maintenance challenges, as evidenced by ongoing violations from September 2024 in apartment 4A, including issues with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, a defective self-closing door, and an unauthorized partition modification. As of July 2025, there are additional concerns with a slow water leak, window frame problems, and intercom system malfunctions, all documented through 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code Complaints. The building's recent history reveals some positive maintenance patterns, particularly evident in the successful completion of rodent inspections over multiple years, with all inspections from 2019 through 2025 passing successfully.

Historical records show consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no reported infestations in recent years from 2019 through 2024. However, the current focus on pest control and various maintenance issues suggests a need for attention to building systems and resident quality of life. The property was last inspected for rodent issues in April 2025 and has shown recent attention to electronic system concerns, as demonstrated by a permit issuance in July 2018 for unspecified work.
