417 West 120th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027
The 36-unit, 6-story residential building at 417 West 120th Street in Morningside Heights, owned by Noel Medina, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in July 2023, the building was found to have mold problems in apartment 3D, with violations issued for both visible mold and a broken window spring balance in the kitchen, though inspections conducted later suggested some of these violations had been addressed.
The building has a documented history of plumbing issues, particularly concerning water supply problems in July 2019, which required multiple complaints to address. The property has also faced recurring rodent-related challenges, with inspections in 2021 and 2023 showing evidence of rat activity, though subsequent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have passed without incident. The building, constructed in 1926, has multiple active and resolved violations on record with the Department of Buildings.
These include two ECB violations from 2021 regarding sidewalk shed requirements, and two significant open violations related to the failure to submit required building report documents - one concerning energy efficiency scores and another regarding the FISP Cycle 8C technical report for exterior wall conditions. The building's environmental control board violations from 2020-2021 had no associated penalties, indicating some compliance issues were resolved without fines. Despite these challenges, recent bedbug filings from 2020 through 2025 show no infestations, and recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have passed, suggesting some improvement in maintenance response.
