332 St Nicholas Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10027

The 7-unit, 4-story Harlem tenement at 332 St Nicholas Avenue, built in 1925 and currently owned by Stevens Brothers Realty Inc, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past four years, with the most recent complaint filed in January 2025 not allowing for proper inspection access. These heating system problems were also documented in November and December 2021, though were reportedly resolved by the time of HPD's investigation.

The building has faced multiple sanitary concerns, particularly regarding garbage and recycling storage, with two similar complaints in mid-2024, though no violations were found upon inspection. In terms of compliance, the property has had several Housing Maintenance Code violations, including four instances between 2021-2024 requiring annual bedbug report filings, and specific safety violations in November 2021 concerning fire escape egress and required safety notices near the mailboxes, all of which were eventually resolved. Recent inspections for rodent activity show generally positive results, with the most recent being passed in April 2025, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in October 2023.

The building's bedbug reporting history shows no infestations reported between 2021 and 2025, with all recent filings indicating zero infested or previously infested units. It's worth noting that the property has been proactive in addressing building maintenance inspections, with most recent reports indicating compliance with required inspections and prompt addressing of identified violations. The consistent pattern of heat and water issues, combined with the building's age, requires ongoing monitoring to assess future maintenance needs and resident comfort levels.
