517 Manhattan Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10027

The three-story, four-unit building at 517 Manhattan Avenue in Harlem, owned by Sonja Aris, has a documented history dating back to its 1901 construction. The property has recently faced several maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple 311 Service Requests in September 2023, including issues with flooring, doors, mold, pests, and an electrical/gas range.

However, all these complaints were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and closed without violations being issued. The building has maintained an active compliance record for bedbug reporting over the years, with the most recent filing in July 2025 showing zero infested units, continuing the pattern of the previous three years (2024, 2023, 2022) where no infestations were reported. Regular rodent inspections conducted from 2017 through 2025 have consistently passed, indicating effective pest management.

The building's violation history shows a recurring requirement to file annual bedbug reports, which were documented as violations in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, though these appear to have been resolved as the most recent filings demonstrate compliance. No other significant violations or safety concerns are on record, and the property has maintained an overall stable health and safety profile, with successful rodent inspections and no recent evidence of bedbug infestations or other major issues. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing attention to compliance requirements, despite periodic administrative oversights regarding bedbug reporting in previous years.
