149 West 142nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10030

149 West 142nd Street is a 5-story, 10-unit New Law Tenement building located in Harlem, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Lisa Beaubien. The property has a documented history of rodent-related issues between 2018 and 2020, with three separate complaints filed with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) regarding rat sightings and signs of rodents.

The most recent of these complaints, filed in January 2020, resulted in identified violations requiring follow-up inspections. While these rodent complaints were all closed, they indicate a recurring pest management challenge during that period. More recently, the building has undergone compliance inspections in relation to Local Law 188/17, with the most recent inspection in March 2025 finding no violations warranting action.

However, there was an enforcement work order investigation in August 2023 that resulted in an oath violation being served by September 2023. This suggests that while the building has shown recent compliance with local laws, there have been some regulatory matters requiring attention, though the nature and impact of these violations are not specified in the available data. The historical pattern of rodent complaints from 2018-2020, though now dated, suggests that pest management has been an ongoing concern, while more recent regulatory compliance suggests improved management practices in other areas of building maintenance and operation.
