2200 Fredrick Douglass Bl, Manhattan, NY 10026

The five-story, nine-unit building at 2200 Frederick Douglass Boulevard in Harlem, owned by Robert Ezrapour, has experienced several significant health and maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there are recurring rodent problems, with multiple complaints and inspections from 2024 through 2025 indicating ongoing rat activity, despite the building passing some inspections. The building has also faced food safety concerns, including a current complaint from June 2025 about food contamination that is still in progress, and previous complaints in 2024 regarding rodent/insect/garbage issues and rat sightings, which resulted in health department violations.

A food poisoning incident was reported and investigated in June 2023, though it was determined to be isolated. The building has maintained an active response to pest control, with multiple bait applications recorded throughout 2024 and 2025, including six separate bait applications between March and April 2025. While there was a power outage reported in August 2020, no violations were issued following the inspection.

Importantly, the building has demonstrated some progress in pest management, as evidenced by the most recent initial rodent inspection in April 2025 showing a "Passed" result, following multiple bait applications. The building's bedbug reporting history shows minimal recent activity, with no infestations reported in the past three years (2022-2024), following a period of three reported cases in 2021. During 2024-2025, there have been consistent efforts to manage rodent issues, though the persistence of complaints suggests ongoing challenges with pest control and building maintenance.
