Augrented Insights Report for 437 Manhattan Avenue

The 437 Manhattan Avenue building, a 7-story old law tenement constructed in 1901 in Harlem, currently has 53 units and is owned by Baruch Singer. The property has experienced significant heating and hot water issues in 2025, with multiple tenant complaints and violations documented between February and April, including three separate complaints about inadequate heat and hot water systems for the entire building. Additionally, there are ongoing concerns with electrical wiring that remains unresolved as of May 2025.

The building's maintenance record shows persistent boiler problems, with multiple complaints about the heating system dating back to 2019, including recently documented hazardous conditions and leakage issues as of 2024. The elevator system also appears to have had recurring issues, with complaints resulting in violation notices in 2024. The property has accumulated several open violations that are currently active, including issues with exterior wall maintenance, an inoperative boiler, and problems with exit passageways and self-closing doors in common areas.

Recent rodent activity has been documented, with multiple inspections in 2024 and 2025 showing persistent rat presence, although some bait applications were conducted. The building's condition is further complicated by multiple open ECB violations regarding boiler and exterior maintenance, including significant penalties totaling over $25,000. Despite these challenges, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past four years, with no reported cases between 2021 and 2025.
