2050 Madison Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10035

The 3-story, 3-unit residential building at 2050 Madison Avenue in East Harlem, built in 1900 and currently owned by Pradyut Pokuri, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. The building has faced recurring heat and hot water problems in late 2022, with multiple complaints from different sources between November and December 2022. A particularly concerning pattern emerged in Fall 2022, with multiple unaddressed complaints including issues with the intercom system, doors/windows, plumbing, paint/plaster, and various appliance problems, though inspection access was not granted in these cases.

In August 2022, a significant inspection identified multiple violations in Apartment 3, including problems with the smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, window and door issues, bathroom and kitchen plumbing concerns, and various maintenance needs such as broken tiles and door frame alignment problems. More recently, in January 2023, there was a boiler-related complaint, though inspection access was again denied. The building's rodent inspection history shows mixed results, with rat activity detected in 2019 and 2024, though more recent inspections in 2025 resulted in passing grades.

The property underwent bedbug reporting requirements in 2022-2023 and 2024-2025, with no reported infestations or eradication efforts needed during these periods. The building's maintenance record shows persistent challenges with basic services and infrastructure, particularly heating systems and various apartment maintenance issues. While some recent inspections have shown improvement, particularly in passing rodent inspections, several violations from 2022 remain unresolved according to the available data as of October 2023. The property has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements and has maintained a current rodent inspection schedule, though past issues with both pests and heating systems indicate ongoing maintenance challenges.
