Augrented Insights Report for 2518 Fredrick Douglass Bl

The 41-unit, 5-story residential building at 2518 Frederick Douglass Blvd in Harlem, owned by Lloyd Williams and constructed in 1920, has been experiencing persistent heating and hot water system issues throughout 2024-2025, with multiple emergency complaints documented in April and May 2025. These heating system problems have been the subject of numerous 311 service requests and Department of Buildings complaints, with six consecutive boiler-related complaints between January and February 2025, and records showing the building's heating system was inoperable as recently as October 2024 with active violations and substantial penalties related to the boiler system.

Recent inspections have revealed additional concerns including defective self-closing doors in apartments 3C and 3D (open violations as of December 2024), heating system access issues, and multiple safety violations in apartment 4C, including concerns about smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The building has shown some improvement in pest management, with separate bedbug reporting from 2023-2024 showing zero infested units, and rodent inspections generally passing, though a failure was recorded in February 2024 for "Other Reasons." Recent maintenance issues have included plumbing problems (April-May 2025) and unsanitary conditions related to garbage storage (April 2025).

The property features three issued permits between 2023 and 2025 for unspecified work (permit sequence numbers 01-03 under job number 141022952), suggesting some ongoing maintenance or improvement projects. While the building has passed multiple rodent inspections in 2023-2025, the recurring heating system problems and various safety violations indicate ongoing maintenance challenges that have persisted despite multiple complaints and violation notices.
