5 St Nicholas Terrace, Manhattan, NY 10027
5 St Nicholas Terrace is a 5-story, 21-unit residential building in Harlem, constructed in 1901 and currently owned by Andre Mongouge. The property has experienced persistent heating and hot water issues throughout 2024-2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed between March and May 2025 regarding building-wide heat/hot water problems, though HPD inspections often faced access challenges. These heating system problems appear to be ongoing, with repeat complaints despite previous inspections.
The building has also documented various maintenance issues, including flooring problems in apartment 31 (2024), plumbing concerns with radiators (2024), and indoor air quality issues related to construction dust (March 2025). Significant violations remain open as of December 2024 concerning security systems, including the need to remove illegal electromagnetic locking devices at building entrances and correct security features for power outages. The property has a history of code compliance issues, particularly regarding unauthorized transient use in 2019, when violations were noted for inadequate egress, missing fire alarm systems, and lack of sprinklers related to alleged illegal occupancy in apartment 22.
Violations were resolved with associated fines. Recent inspections for rodent control have consistently passed, indicating no pest issues. The building has shown no documented bedbug infestations since 2019, with all filings reporting zero affected units. While the building has maintained compliance with rodent inspections and has an active record of addressing various maintenance issues through 311 complaints, the recurring heating problems and several open violations regarding security systems and specific maintenance concerns suggest areas requiring attention.
