1937 Madison Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10035

1937 Madison Avenue is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in East Harlem, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by 1937 Fee Owner LLC. The building has experienced several notable issues in recent years, with the most pressing concern being a May 2025 rodent-related violation from the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, which found conditions potentially attracting rodents, though subsequent inspections in June and July 2025 showed compliance with health standards.

The property has shown consistent attention to pest management, as evidenced by three consecutive years (2019-2021) of bedbug reports indicating zero infested units, and even more recent reports for 2022-2023 showing the same results, suggesting effective monitoring and management of this potential problem. The building has undergone some structural challenges, particularly regarding plumbing issues, with the Department of Buildings documenting a plumbing defect complaint in 2018 that remained open until 2022 when a Stop Work Order was fully rescinded.

This was connected to a 2019 violation when all approvals and permits for plumbing work were revoked, though this violation was ultimately dismissed in 2022. Despite these historical issues, more recent records indicate regular maintenance and compliance with housing codes, with a notable pattern of passing rodent inspections throughout 2023-2025, though there were some instances of rat activity noted between 2024 and 2025. The property appears to be actively managed, with timely responses to violations and regular submission of required reports, including the annual bedbug report notifications mandated by the Housing Maintenance Code.
