549 Manhattan Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10027
The three-story, 1-unit building at 549 Manhattan Avenue in Harlem, owned by Daniel Jennings, has been experiencing recurring issues with compliance to the Housing Maintenance Code regarding bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations documented in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021 all related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules. While the most recent rodent inspection in May 2025 passed, there was a rat activity notification in May 2024, though subsequent inspections from November 2024 and earlier in 2024 consistently passed, suggesting improvements in pest management.
The building has had two Department of Buildings complaints in recent years: one in September 2021 regarding work without a permit (which warranted no violation) and another in January 2020 concerning illegal work and occupancy use, though the inspector was unable to gain access for inspection. The property has shown some positive recent developments, with three plumbing permits issued in 2024 and 2025 (two in January 2024 and one in March 2025), indicating some level of infrastructure maintenance or improvements being undertaken.
Despite the ongoing bedbug reporting violations, the building has maintained relatively good results in rodent inspections over the past few years, with the last documented rat activity occurring over a year ago in 2024, and no recorded pest violations since. The building, dating back to 1899, has a history of being classified as a "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS B" multiple dwelling, which may impact its regulatory requirements compared to typical residential buildings.
