2073 Fredrick Douglass Bl, Manhattan, NY 10026

The 7-story, 6-unit building at 2073 Frederick Douglass Blvd in Harlem, owned by Miguel Silva and constructed in 2003, has experienced several notable compliance issues in recent years. Most concerning is the building's ongoing failure to submit required FISP (Facade Inspection Safety Program) technical reports, with active violations issued in 2019 and 2023 related to Cycle 8B and 9B reporting requirements. Additionally, there is an active Environmental Control Board violation from April 2024 regarding failure to submit the required Cycle 9B critical examination report of exterior walls, with a penalty of $1,250 outstanding.

The building has also had multiple housing maintenance code violations regarding annual bedbug report filings from 2022 to 2024, though recent reports (most recently filed March 2025) indicate no bedbug infestations during the reporting periods. In early 2025, there were multiple complaints filed regarding unpermitted work and illegal activities, including plumbing work and construction activities, with several resulting in Oath Violations being served. However, some inspections related to these complaints resulted in no violations being warranted at the time.

The building's elevator system, which had issues noted in 2019 requiring a correction of defects from a 2017 inspection, appears to have returned to compliance as there have been no recent elevator-related complaints. On a positive note, the building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections from 2017 through 2025, indicating good general sanitation conditions, and there have been no recorded bedbug infestations in the past five reporting periods. The property has had multiple permits issued for exterior work in 2020 and 2021, though the specific nature of this work is not detailed in the records available.
