2235 Fredrick Douglass Bl, Manhattan, NY 10027
The 74-unit, 8-story building at 2235 Frederick Douglass Boulevard, known as Harriet Tubman Gardens, was completed in 2003 and has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most concerning are the active violations related to exterior facade problems, with multiple open violations from 2023-2024 concerning cracked mortar joints, bulging stones, and loose panels on the building's east and north elevations. The property has also faced recurring internal maintenance challenges, including multiple reports of mold, water leaks, and electrical issues between 2023-2025.
Recent inspections in 2025 showed passing results for rodent inspections, though there have been several rodent-related complaints over the past two years. The building has active environmental control board violations related to facade maintenance and safety measures, with penalties totaling $34,030 between 2022-2024. Recent maintenance history shows a pattern of recurring issues requiring attention, including three sets of open violations from mid-2024 concerning defective parquet hardwood floor repairs and self-closing door issues in apartment 2C.
The building's heating system has also required attention, with complaints about heat and hot water during the 2024-2025 period. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug prevention compliance, with no reported infestations between 2019-2025. While the building has received multiple "passed" inspection results for various issues, the persistence of open violations and recent failure to maintain facade safety standards suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's permit history shows regular maintenance work being permitted, with the most recent permits issued in 2023-2025 for various work types.
