385 Manhattan Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10026
The 3-unit, 3-story building at 385 Manhattan Avenue in Harlem, owned by Yvette Gillum, has experienced significant maintenance challenges over the past two years. Most recently, in August 2024, there was a complaint about standing water on the sidewalk that was investigated by DOHMH with no violations found. Between June and August 2023, the property faced multiple plumbing and water-related issues, including heavy flow water leaks and problems with basins/sinks, with inspections often unable to access the affected areas.
The building has active open violations from 2023 related to failed external low-pressure inspection filings for multiple years (2020, 2022, and 2023), as well as a previously issued violation from 2020 regarding unauthorized construction deviations. The property has exhibited persistent pest control issues, with a concerning pattern of rat activity documented through multiple inspections in 2024 and most recently in June 2025, despite bait applications being recorded in 2025. There were also multiple Health Department complaints in mid-2023 regarding unsanitary conditions related to pests.
Building violations from June 2023 specifically identify problems in Apartment 1 including defective electrical outlets, water leaks, and issues with plaster and paint in the kitchen ceiling. Apartment 2 reportedly had an infestation of houseflies (vermin) in early 2023, along with missing smoke detectors. While recent bedbug reports for the periods ending October 2023 and October 2020 show no infestations, the building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic infrastructure and pest control that have not been fully resolved.
