Augrented Insights Report for 2053 Fredrick Douglass Bl

Located in Harlem, 2053 Frederick Douglass Boulevard is a five-story, 30-unit converted tenement building constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Ari Shalam. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with emergency complaints registered in February 2025 and January 2019, though these were reportedly resolved. Recent maintenance concerns include a rat sighting in June 2025 and a door-related issue in February 2024, both of which were complicated by inspection access problems.

While a pest-related complaint was filed in December 2023, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development found no violations during their investigation. The building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections, with the most recent inspection in June 2025 showing no violations, though one recent complaint required investigation in June 2025. The property has had few significant building code violations, with two instances of failing to file energy benchmarking reports in 2020, both of which were dismissed upon confirmation of submission.

Between 2019-2024, there have been no documented bedbug infestations, and all five of the building's most recent rodent inspections (2018-2025) have resulted in passed inspections. Regular maintenance permits were issued in 2018 and 2019 for various work, including electrical and plumbing-related improvements. The building's overall maintenance record shows regular inspections and prompt responses to tenant complaints, though access issues have been a recurring challenge for inspectors in verifying reported problems.
