497 Manhattan Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10027

The three-story, three-unit tenement building at 497 Manhattan Avenue in Harlem, owned by Daniel Handal, has experienced several notable incidents in recent years. Most concerning is a recent DOHMH complaint from June 2025 regarding indoor air quality and human feces, which resulted in an advisory to the owner or manager to correct the condition.

June 2025 also saw a construction-related complaint that, following inspection, was found not to warrant any violations. The building has maintained consistent pest control success, with bedbug reports from 2020 through 2024 showing no infested units recorded in any of the annual filings. The property has demonstrated strong rodent control, passing initial inspections every year from 2017 through 2025, including a recent inspection in June 2025.

The building has a documented history of permitted work, with several permits issued between late 2018 and 2019 for plumbing and excavation work under job number 123562180. These permits were appropriately processed and issued through the Department of Buildings. While the recent air quality issue raises some concern, the property's overall record suggests generally proactive management in terms of pest control and compliance with building regulations.
