272 Manhattan Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10026

The 272 Manhattan Avenue building, a 7-story old law tenement built in 1920 in Harlem, currently has multiple open and unresolved issues as of July 2025. Most concerning are the recent complaints from February 2025 regarding doors and window issues, with multiple emergency complaints still listed as open and requiring access for inspection (Complaint IDs: 26722845, 26722846, 26723463).

Additionally, there are ongoing elevator service concerns, with an active complaint from March 2025 regarding single device operation with no alternate service. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints between December 2024 and January 2025 affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, though some were eventually marked as closed with indications of resolution. The property has a documented history of maintenance and compliance challenges, including an active ECB violation from 2018 regarding building facade maintenance, and several open violations from 2023 related to external low-pressure inspection filings.

Apartments 1D and 3D have had multiple documented issues, including water leaks, plaster damage, and various repair needs between 2023-2024. While the building has maintained an active bedbug reporting history with no infestations reported since 2019, and rodent inspections show mixed results with recent passing inspections, there are significant ongoing maintenance issues that appear to require further attention. The building's management has shown some responsiveness to complaints, with several issues being closed upon investigation, though access concerns have hindered resolution of multiple recent complaints.
