2148 5th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10037
The 5-unit, 3-story building at 2148 5th Avenue in Harlem, owned by Peter Chisolm, has experienced several concerning maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most notably, the property has recurring rodent problems, with multiple inspections in 2023-2024 showing rat activity, though a recent inspection in May 2025 passed.
The building also has open violations regarding annual bedbug reporting for 2022-2024. Between 2019 and 2024, there were several construction-related safety concerns, including multiple Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations in late 2019 related to safety equipment, fall protection, and record-keeping at a construction site that resulted in significant penalties totaling $15,125. The building's maintenance record shows persistent non-compliance with required inspections, particularly regarding external low-pressure systems, with active violations for failing to file inspections from 2018-2023.
While a bedbug report from 2021-2020 indicated no infested units, the building's overall inspection history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has undergone several permitted construction projects between 2019-2020, with permits issued for plumbing and alteration work, though the specific nature of these improvements is not detailed in the available data. The most recent building inspection in 2025 passed for rodent activity, but there remains a concerning pattern of violations and safety issues throughout the property's recent history.
