2092 Fredrick Douglass Bl, Manhattan, NY 10026

The 5-story tenement building at 2092 Frederick Douglass Boulevard in Harlem, owned by Michael Aryeh, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years, particularly regarding heat and water systems. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints in 2025 and 2024, including two separate incidents in January 2025 and March 2025 where no heat or hot water was reported, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. The building currently has an open complaint regarding the intercom system (June 2025), and previous issues in 2025 included missing signage (May 2025).

A concerning pattern emerged in 2024 with multiple safety-related complaints, including issues with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and plumbing problems, though many of these complaints were closed without successful inspection access. The building has also faced regulatory challenges, with open violations from 2021 requiring improved access to heating system controls, proper emergency notices, and other safety-related postings. The property has active violations from the Department of Buildings as of 2023 regarding the failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2019 and 2020.

While the building's bedbug reports from 2019 to 2022 indicate no infestations or eradications, it is worth noting that three separate rodent inspections conducted in early 2024 revealed rat activity, though subsequent inspections showed passing results and bait application. The recent rodent inspection in June 2025 passed successfully. The property requires attention to several persistent maintenance issues, particularly regarding heat and water systems, safety equipment, and building regulations, as evidenced by the pattern of complaints and violations over recent years.
