2082 5th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10035

The 3-story, 2-unit residential building at 2082 5th Avenue in Harlem, owned by Vera Williams, has a mixed record since its construction in 1899. The property has demonstrated compliance with rodent control measures in recent years, passing all rodent inspections from 2022 through 2025, with the exception of a single incident in March 2022 when rat activity was documented.

Of more concern are the open Housing Maintenance Code violations regarding annual bedbug reporting requirements, with violations documented in 2022, 2023, and 2024, though a previous violation from 2021 was closed. The building's bedbug reporting history shows no documented infestations during the 2019-2020 reporting period, with zero infested dwelling units, but the recurring violations for failing to submit required bedbug reports suggest potential issues with compliance monitoring. The property's health and safety record shows some fluctuations over the years, beginning with a rat sighting complaint in March 2022 that resulted in Health Department violations requiring follow-up inspections.

However, since implementing regular inspections, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections, indicating effective pest management practices. As of the most recent data available, July 2025, the building has passed its most recent rodent inspection and has maintained a consistent record of compliance in this area. While the open bedbug reporting violations represent an administrative compliance issue, the absence of documented infestations in the official reporting period suggests that, while the building may not be fully compliant with reporting requirements, it may not be experiencing active bedbug issues based on historical data patterns.
