Augrented Insights Report for 508 Manhattan Avenue

The five-story, 10-unit building at 508 Manhattan Avenue in Harlem, owned by Jay Newhouse and constructed in 1901, has experienced several significant maintenance and habitability issues in recent years. The building has faced recurring rodent problems, with multiple rat sightings reported throughout 2025, including April and February, and continues to show evidence of rodent activity as recently as June 2025.

The property has also had persistent heating and hot water challenges, with an entire building heating emergency reported in January 2025 and multiple heating violations documented in 2022-2023. Residents experienced two electrical power outages in May 2023, both classified as immediate emergencies, along with other electrical issues including no lighting and a lack of proper maintenance of electrical systems. Recent inspections in 2024-2025 have revealed several outstanding maintenance issues, including two Class A violations related to fire safety and public hall maintenance on the 4th story, and a failure to file annual bedbug reports in April 2024.

The building underwent rodent inspections throughout 2024-2025, with some initial inspections showing rat activity, though some compliance inspections passed. Historical complaints include concerns about building vibration and unauthorized work in 2021-2022, as well as facade maintenance issues documented in 2021-2022, though these were resolved. The building's bedbug reporting history shows no infestations since 2019, with the most recent reports indicating no affected units between 2019-2025.
