460 West 126th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

460 West 126th Street is a 5-story, 40-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1901 and currently owned by Scott Metzner. The building has experienced a recurring pattern of pest management challenges over recent years, with bedbug infestations documented in December 2024 (1 unit), December 2022 (1 unit), and a previous period in 2021 showing no infestations.

More concerning has been the rodent situation in 2023, where multiple baiting operations were conducted in the spring (March-May), followed by a compliance inspection noting rat activity in March 2023. While there was a failed initial rodent inspection in July 2023, subsequent inspections in October 2023, January 2024, and July 2024 showed improvement with "Passed" results. A smoking violation was reported in March 2021 and was subsequently addressed.

The building's maintenance history shows some positive trends, particularly in recent rodent inspections, though the recurring nature of both bedbug and rodent issues suggests ongoing challenges with pest management. The most recent 311 complaint about smoking violations was resolved, though it's worth noting that such complaints, while not directly affecting all residents, do indicate areas of concern within the building's environment. The building has shown improvement in recent rodent inspections, consistently passing the most recent checks, which indicates some progress in pest management systems, though the presence of bedbugs continues to be reported periodically.
