506 West 122nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

The six-story, 29-unit apartment building at 506 West 122nd Street in Morningside Heights, built in 1910 and currently owned by David Greenberg, has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. Most notably, the building has ongoing elevator concerns, with three separate complaints between 2020-2023 regarding single device operation and lack of alternate service, though inspections typically found no violations or resulted in resolved citations. A serious issue emerged in 2022-2023 when two Environmental Control Board violations were issued regarding exterior façade maintenance, with one specifically noting spalled masonry and deteriorating mortar joints, plus a failure to submit required inspection reports, resulting in penalties totaling $12,500.

While the building had some interior maintenance issues in 2019, including water leaks and various door/window repairs, these were generally addressed promptly. The building's systems and maintenance record shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues. Recent inspections in 2025 and throughout 2024 have consistently passed rodent inspections, and bedbug reporting from 2022-2024 shows no infestations.

Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2019 included multiple issues in Apartment 23 that were resolved by October 2019, such as repairs to kitchen cabinets and the intercom system. The property has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance, with no reported infestations in the past three years, and has generally passed rodent inspections. The most recent significant building-wide issue was a porch/balcony complaint in 2024 which resulted in no violations.
