315 West 139th Street, Manhattan, NY 10030

The three-story, two-unit brownstone at 315 West 139th Street in Harlem, owned by Eugene Richard, has been facing ongoing administrative challenges regarding bedbug reporting compliance over the past four years. Between 2021 and 2024, the building received four consecutive class "A" Housing Maintenance Code violations related to the failure to file required annual bedbug reports with the Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) department, though it's worth noting that all these violations remain open as of the most recent inspection in April 2024.

Additionally, there was a complaint filed in August 2022 regarding illegal hotel rooms in the residential building, though this complaint was investigated and closed without any violations being found in November 2022. On a positive note, the building has demonstrated a solid track record in terms of pest control, particularly in relation to rodent inspections.

A thorough review of inspections from 2018 through July 2025 shows consistent compliance, with all rodent inspections passing without issue. The property has maintained regular rodent inspections throughout this period, with the most recent inspections in January 2025 and July 2025 continuing the trend of successful compliance. While the building's history reveals concerns about administrative compliance regarding bedbug reporting requirements, it is worth noting that the building has successfully passed all rodent inspections over a substantial period, indicating effective pest management practices in that area.
