512 West 122nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

The 24-unit, 6-story tenement building at 512 West 122nd Street in Morningside Heights, built in 1910 and currently owned by Kdewayne White, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past few years. Most recently, the building failed to submit its FISP Cycle 9A Technical Report by the February 21, 2022 deadline, resulting in an active Department of Buildings violation. In 2021, there was a significant heat and hot water emergency affecting the entire building, though this was resolved within two days.

Prior to that, in 2019, there was a complaint regarding unsanitary mold conditions, but inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the issue. While there was one Housing Maintenance Code violation in 2021 related to the annual bedbug report that required filing, the building has since maintained a clean record with respect to bedbugs, with all subsequent reports (2021-2024) showing zero infested or eradicated units. The building has shown consistent commitment to maintaining rodent control standards, passing all rodent inspections from 2016 through 2025.

The property has actively participated in and complied with bedbug monitoring requirements, with regular filings showing no infestations since 2021. While there have been some maintenance issues in the past, including heat/water problems and mold complaints, these appear to have been resolved. The most recent rodent inspection in June 2025 passed, continuing the building's strong record in this area. The combination of regular bedbug monitoring, consistent rodent control compliance, and the resolution of major maintenance issues suggests the building has made efforts to address past problems, though the active DOB violation regarding the FISP report filing remains an outstanding compliance issue as of 2025.
