11 St Nicholas Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10026
The five-story, 36-unit Old Law Tenement building at 11 St. Nicholas Avenue in Harlem, owned by Mark Mckew and constructed in 1900, has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues throughout 2024 and early 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed through the Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) department between February and November 2024. These complaints consistently reported problems affecting the entire building, though inspectors were often unable to gain access for verification.
The building is currently under observation with an active violation related to the failure to file the 2018 external low pressure inspection as of June 2023. The property has faced several structural and security challenges, particularly during 2024, including two open violations regarding security systems at the building entrance related to power outage concerns, and multiple open violations regarding building safety notices. Unit 2F received several violations in early 2024 regarding pest control, door hardware, and safety device maintenance (including smoke and carbon monoxide detectors), though some of these were subsequently closed.
The building has a documented history of rodent activity, with inspections showing both rat activity and compliance passing results throughout 2023 and 2024, with the most recent rodent inspection in April 2025 showing a passing result. Notable complaints in recent years also include concerns about elevator devices (2023), illegal hotel rooms (2019), and various safety and maintenance issues. While the building's bedbug reports from 2021-2024 show no recorded infestations, the property's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic services and building systems.
