2082 Fredrick Douglass Bl, Manhattan, NY 10026
The 5-story, 14-unit tenement building at 2082 Frederick Douglass Boulevard in Harlem, owned by Frank Brusco, has experienced persistent rodent-related issues over recent years, with 14 documented 311 service requests related to rodents/insects/garbage between 2021 and 2024. Most notably, there is a concerning pattern of rat activity, with multiple inspections in 2024 showing either "Rat Activity" or "Passed" results, along with several instances of bait application in late 2023. The building currently has open violations regarding the filing of annual bedbug reports, dating back to inspections conducted between 2021 and 2024.
Additional historical issues include a plumbing water supply problem in March 2022 (resolved), unsanitary garbage/recycling storage conditions in late 2020 (resolved), and multiple rodent-related complaints between 2021 and 2024, though most of these were either addressed or administratively closed. Recent inspection history shows some improvements, with the most recent rodent inspection from May 2025 passing, indicating possible mitigation efforts have been undertaken. The Department of Buildings conducted two inspections in 2024, one for work without a permit and another for Local Law 188 compliance, both showing no violations at the time of inspection.
A plumbing issue from 2022 was verified and corrected according to HPD records. While there has been an ongoing pattern of rodent-related complaints and violations, the building's management appears to have taken some steps to address these issues, as evidenced by the recent passing inspection. The property's age (built in 1900) and status as an Old Law Tenement are consistent with its classification, and it remains under the ownership of Frank Brusco as of the most recent records available.
