2051 Fredrick Douglass Bl, Manhattan, NY 10026

Located in Harlem, 2051 Frederick Douglass Blvd is a 5-story, 13-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Ashlee Friedmann. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with the most recent complaints emerging in November 2024 affecting the entire building, though these complaints were subsequently closed after HPD verification of corrected conditions.

Other notable maintenance concerns over the past three years include a water leak (2022), issues with paint/plaster (2022), and a mold-related unsanitary condition (2022). The building has shown some pattern of water-related problems, with violations in 2021 and repeated issues in Apartment 2B concerning bathroom ceiling leaks that emerged in 2019-2021. The property's maintenance record shows attention to basic upkeep, with multiple rodent inspections passed between 2017 and 2025, suggesting effective pest management.

Notably, there have been no reported incidents of bedbug infestations in the last six years (2018-2024), and the building maintains a consistent record of compliance with rodent inspections. The Department of Buildings issued a permit in January 2020, though no specific details about the work were provided in the available data. While the building has experienced periodic maintenance issues, particularly regarding heating and water systems, most complaints have been addressed and closed by HPD, indicating at least a basic level of responsiveness to maintenance concerns.
