517 West 121st Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

517 West 121st Street is an 18-story residential building in Morningside Heights, currently owned by Thomas Bailey. The building has experienced multiple heating system issues in April 2025, with three emergency complaints filed through the Housing Maintenance Code regarding lack of heat/hot water throughout the entire building, though these complaints have since been closed.

The property underwent a bedbug inspection in 2024-2025 that reported no infestations, following a single reported case in 2023-2024 that was successfully eradicated. The building has maintained consistent rodent control success, passing all inspections from 2016 through 2025. Looking at historical data, the building faced several Department of Buildings violations in November 2019, though these were dismissed in December 2022 based on subsequent reports confirming corrections had been made.

In 2021, there was one notable bedbug reporting violation related to the failure to file the annual bedbug report, though this has since been corrected according to subsequent filings showing no infestations in 2022-2025 reporting periods. Regular rodent inspections have consistently passed, demonstrating effective pest management practices. While the recent heating issues represent the most significant current maintenance concern, the building's overall maintenance record shows adherence to many housing standards, with most historical violations having been resolved.
