2276 Fredrick Douglass Bl, Manhattan, NY 10027

2276 Frederick Douglass Boulevard is a 6-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building located in Harlem, built in 1910 and currently owned by Shaun Covington. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, most notably in 2020 when multiple complaints were filed regarding plumbing (bathtub/shower), window frames, window panes, unsanitary conditions including sewage, and pest problems, though many of these complaints were closed without inspection access being granted.

A cluster of similar issues was also reported in late 2018-2019, including a violation for a defective carbon monoxide detector in Apartment 3A (December 2018) and door issues (October 2019). More recent history shows both challenge and improvement: the building failed a 2021 Special Operations Compliance Inspection primarily regarding exterior maintenance issues such as spalling cement stucco and vertical cracking, resulting in an active Environmental Control Board violation with a penalty.

However, the property has demonstrated consistent rodent control success with regular inspections since 2019 showing "Passed" results, and bedbug reports from 2019-2024 indicate no infestations have been reported in the past five years. The most recent rodent inspections were conducted in January and July 2025, both passing, while the bedbug report for 2023-2024 confirmed zero infested or eradicated units. The building's health and maintenance records show a pattern of plumbing and window-related issues, though recent years have seen improvements in pest control and compliance with bedbug reporting regulations.
