259 West 138th Street, Manhattan, NY 10030

The three-story, two-unit building at 259 West 138th Street in Harlem, owned by Gregory Carey and constructed in 1910, has experienced recurring compliance issues with its annual bedbug reporting requirements over the past four years. Between 2021 and 2024, the building received four consecutive Class A Housing Maintenance Code violations regarding the failure to file the mandated annual bedbug report, with the most recent violation being recorded in April 2024.

Despite these documentation lapses, it is worth noting that the building has maintained a clean record in terms of rodent inspections, successfully passing all nine inspections conducted between 2018 and March 2025, with the most recent inspection showing no issues. The repeated bedbug report violations suggest ongoing challenges with maintaining compliance in this specific area of building management, even as the property demonstrates consistent attention to pest control through regular rodent inspections.

The building's rodent inspection success could indicate generally sound maintenance practices, though the pattern of bedbug report violations suggests room for improvement in meeting all housing maintenance requirements. The property has maintained its original classification as a HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS B building, indicating its historical conversion status has not changed.
