2082 Madison Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10037

2082 Madison Avenue is a 5-story, 9-unit residential building located in East Harlem, owned by Salvatore Davola and dating back to 1900. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints between 2024-2025, including three emergency complaints in January 2025 alone. There are significant ongoing building maintenance concerns, particularly affecting apartment 4C, with open violations from 2022-2023 citing problems including rodent infestations (mice and roaches), lead paint hazards, mold, and ceiling damage.

Apartment 5A is also noted for having plaster and water leak issues according to violations from 2023. Recent inspections (2022-2025) have generally passed rodent inspections, though there was a pest complaint investigation in early 2025 that could not be completed due to access issues. The building has a documented history of electrical and safety violations, particularly during 2018-2019, including concerns about unsafe wiring, improperly installed electrical equipment, and a red-tagged gas stove.

Various heating, plumbing, and door/window maintenance issues have been reported and investigated over the years, with mixed results in terms of access for inspections. While the property has maintained a clean bedbug record for the past five reporting periods (2020-2024) and has passed multiple rodent inspections, the concentration of recent heat/hot water issues, ongoing pest problems, and multiple open housing maintenance code violations in apartment 4C suggest persistent maintenance challenges. Recent 311 complaints also indicate ongoing issues with building systems and infrastructure, particularly relating to heat and water systems, with some complaints being administratively closed due to access issues.
