Augrented Insights Report for 2490 Fredrick Douglass Bl

2490 Frederick Douglass Boulevard is a 5-story, 12-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1920 in Harlem, currently owned by 2490 FDB LLC. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past year, with the most recent complaints in 2025 related to heat/hot water and water supply problems, though HPD inspections were unable to gain access to verify these conditions. A cluster of plumbing, water, and sanitation issues were reported between March and April 2024, including toilet problems and mold concerns, with some violations issued during these inspections.

The building has active ECB violations from 2022 regarding structural concerns, including a damaged chimney and loose bricks, with financial penalties totaling over $18,000. Additional open violations from 2024 involve various building systems, including lighting fixtures in public areas and security concerns with entrance doors. The property has shown recent pest control challenges, with multiple rodent activity reports and bait applications documented throughout 2024-2025.

Safety-related complaints in 2025 included issues with both carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, though these were resolved within a few weeks. The building's inspection history indicates regular patterns of access issues for HPD inspections, particularly during 2024. While the bedbug reports from 2017-2020 show no recorded infestations, the building's overall maintenance record suggests ongoing challenges with prompt resolution of building code compliance issues, as indicated by multiple instances of failure to certify corrections for immediately hazardous violations during 2022-2023.
