Augrented Insights Report for 2494 Fredrick Douglass Bl

This 5-story, 9-unit Old Law Tenement building at 2494 Frederick Douglass Boulevard in Harlem, built in 1910 and currently owned by Donald Notice, has experienced recurring pest and maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple rodent-related complaints and inspections, with the most recent inspections in 2025 showing both rat activity and compliance status.

The property has documented several unsanitary conditions related to pests, particularly during 2023-2024, with confirmed violations in late 2023. Two apartments (2B and 3A) currently have open housing maintenance code violations from 2024 regarding pest infestations and cabinet issues, while previous violations regarding structural and safety concerns remain active from 2020-2023, including problems with exterior mortar joints causing water leaks in 3A and obstructed fire escape balconies. The building has had various maintenance issues requiring attention, including electrical problems (power outages in 2024), multiple complaints about doors and windows, and interior maintenance needs such as ceiling issues, paint/plaster concerns, and floor repairs.

Safety systems have also required attention, with violations noted regarding carbon monoxide detection equipment in 3A. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years, the property has experienced ongoing pest management challenges. The building's history includes some significant safety-related complaints, such as egress issues in 2023 and two complaints regarding building shaking in 2020, though access was unable to be gained for inspection in one instance.
