2093 Madison Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10037

2093 Madison Avenue is a 5-story, 20-unit residential building in East Harlem, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Salvatore Davola. The property has experienced recurring rodent issues throughout 2025, with multiple rat sightings reported between January and April 2025, resulting in several DOHMH inspections confirming rodent activity. The building has also faced significant heat and hot water problems, with multiple emergency complaints recorded in late 2024 and early 2025, though inspections confirmed restoration of service during follow-up checks.

Two specific apartments, 1A and 2A, have been identified as having persistent infestation issues, with open violations as of December 2024 citing problems with roaches and rodents in apartment 1A, and multiple violations in apartment 2A including missing safety installations for smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and various unsanitary conditions. The building's recent history shows ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly relating to sanitation and safety compliance. Between late 2024 and early 2025, there were multiple violations issued for unsanitary conditions, including garbage storage issues noted by HPD.

In late 2019, the property faced several significant violations regarding egress and fire safety, including obstructed fire exit passageways and compliance failures that resulted in ECB violations. While recent bedbug reports show zero infested units from 2022 through 2024, the ongoing rodent activity remains a persistent concern. The building has undergone various inspections and received violations through different city agencies, including DOB, HPD, and DOHMH, indicating a pattern of maintenance challenges that require attention to ensure compliance with housing codes.
