Augrented Insights Report for 2496 Fredrick Douglass Bl

The five-story, 16-unit residential building at 2496 Frederick Douglass Boulevard in Harlem, owned by Karim Hutson and built in 1910, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past two years that require attention. Most recently, in February 2025, there were complaints about heating and hot water issues affecting the entire building, which were addressed within days, as well as a sewage odor problem.

In 2024, multiple maintenance concerns were reported and subsequently addressed, including water leaks, ceiling paint/plaster issues, door problems, appliance repairs, and a building-wide intercom/buzzer system issue that resulted in open violations as of June 2024. The building's systems have undergone several inspections and corrections, with notable open violations including a broken intercom system affecting apartment 5D and a requirement to file an annual bedbug report, though previous bedbug incidents reported in 2024 involved three infested units with two successfully eradicated.

Recent inspections have shown consistent rodent control success, with all rodent inspections from 2018 through 2025 passing, and violations related to fire escape access and building entrance door locks were resolved by mid-2024. The building has received regular maintenance inspections, including successful rodent inspections, though there remain concerns about building systems that periodically affect resident comfort and safety, particularly regarding the heating system and intercom communication.
