2074 Fredrick Douglass Bl, Manhattan, NY 10026

2074 Frederick Douglass Boulevard is a 5-story, 13-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1900 and currently managed by 801 Associates Llc. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, with the most recent problems reported in May 2024, though many recent complaints (including issues with pests, plumbing, flooring, and paint/plaster) resulted in no violations being issued after HPD inspections.

A significant cluster of heat and hot water complaints occurred in February 2020, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. The building has also faced infrastructure challenges, including a currently open Class C violation from July 2020 regarding inadequate gas supply to the kitchen fixtures in apartment 1C, though a previous plaster and paint violation from the same inspection was resolved by September 2020. The property has had periodic pest control challenges, with one documented case of bedbugs in 2024 (previously reported in 2020), though most recent filings show no infestations.

Rodent inspections have generally passed since 2023, with only a compliance failure noted in April 2022 and one initial rat activity report in March 2022. While the building's historical data shows various maintenance issues, most recent complaints have not resulted in significant violations, and the building has passed multiple rodent inspections in recent years. The property has undergone regular bedbug and rodent inspections as required, indicating some level of proactive management, though the recurring nature of heat/hot water issues and the open gas supply violation remain notable concerns.
