Augrented Insights Report for 52 St Nicholas Avenue

The 30-unit, 5-story Old Law Tenement at 52 St Nicholas Avenue in Harlem, built in 1925 and currently owned by Lorraine Carrington, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, the building suffered fire damage in late 2022 affecting apartments E and 2K, and has ongoing violations related to broken windows and fire safety features.

Between 2024 and 2025, multiple complaints have been filed regarding window frames, doors, and gas appliances, with several inspection attempts resulting in lack of access for verification. The building has also faced recurring heat and hot water issues, with complaints in October and November 2022 indicating temporary outages before restoration.

Recent violations from 2023-2025 include failure to file required external low pressure inspections and issues with the elevator system. However, the building has maintained an active bedbug control program, with no reported infestations in the past seven reporting periods from 2018-2025, and recent rodent inspections have generally passed, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in April 2023.
