92 Morningside Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10027

92 Morningside Avenue is a 10-story, 48-unit old law tenement building located in Harlem, built in 1901 and currently owned by Ivan Melo. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, including multiple heat and hot water system problems in February 2024 that resulted in violations, and a more recent water leak incident in December 2024 that was classified as an emergency but could not be inspected due to access issues.

Two notable violations remain open as of 2025: one regarding inadequate access to the heating system (which could impact emergency response) and another concerning the failure to file the required FISP Cycle 9A technical report by the February 2022 deadline. The elevator system had a documented issue in March 2020 when a violation was served regarding single device operation and lack of alternate service.

On a positive note, the building has maintained an active rodent control program, consistently passing inspections from 2019 through 2025, and has demonstrated effective bedbug management practices, with no reported infestations in any unit across the three most recent annual reporting periods (2022-2024). The Department of Buildings issued a penalty in 2020 related to door lock monitoring installation requirements, which was resolved, though there are currently active violations regarding energy efficiency score display requirements. Despite the various maintenance issues documented through 311 complaints and housing violations, the building's overall sanitation and pest management record appears to be well-maintained.
