Augrented Insights Report for 2526 8th Avenue

This five-story, 38-unit Old Law Tenement building located at 2526 8th Avenue in Harlem (built in 1910, currently owned by 276 W 135th St Assoc Lp) has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly between 2024 and 2025. The most pressing current concern is an open emergency water leak complaint from June 2025 demonstrating heavy flow. The building has a history of water-related issues, with multiple water leak complaints documented throughout 2025, including both slow and heavy leaks.

The third-floor Apartment 3D has documented violations from July 2024, including mold (greater than 10 sq ft), bathroom fixture problems (leaky faucets and caulk), and safety concerns regarding inoperable smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The building has experienced recurring rodent activity, with multiple inspections between 2024 and 2025 confirming presence of rats, though bait was applied regularly in 2024-2025. There are also concerns about bedbug infestations, with reports indicating at least one unit affected in 2024-2025, though recent filings show no active infestations.

The building's Department of Buildings history shows three complaints in 2019-2020 regarding building stability and special operations, all of which were investigated but no violations were found. However, there are active Environmental Control Board violations from 2020 related to unauthorized construction of a brick extension and maintenance of building systems, with penalties totaling $3,750. A significant cluster of HPD complaints from February-April 2025 involved various maintenance issues including window frames, walls, flooring, and plumbing, with multiple inspections required to address these problems. The building's maintenance record suggests ongoing challenges with basic maintenance and infrastructure, though several violations have been resolved through the inspection process.
