2411 Fredrick Douglass Bl, Manhattan, NY 10027

2411 Frederick Douglass Boulevard is an 8-story, 205-unit residential building in Harlem, constructed in 1980 and currently owned by Lucrecia Almanzar. The building has experienced a variety of maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns centering around water-related problems. As of 2025, there are multiple open and closed complaints regarding water leaks, including a heavy flow incident reported in May 2025 and another water leak emergency from June 2025.

The building has also faced persistent rodent control challenges, with recent inspections in 2024-2025 showing both pass and fail results, including rat activity noted in November 2024. Multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations remain active, particularly concerning Apartment 3D, where there are documented issues with a defective entrance door, broken cabinets, water leaks, and plastered surfaces requiring repair. The elevator system has been a recurring concern, with numerous complaints about multiple devices and water damage affecting the cab and controls, though many of these complaints were ultimately resolved or closed.

Recent inspections and service requests indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, including electrical issues (such as lighting problems), plumbing concerns, and pest-related complaints. The building's management has generally responded to violations and service requests, with some complaints resulting in inspections that found no violations, while others revealed conditions requiring attention. Notably, the building has maintained a consistent record of no bedbug infestations across multiple annual reporting periods from 2019 through 2024. While some maintenance issues have been addressed through repairs and inspections, the frequency of water-related complaints and the presence of active violations suggest that certain building systems and components may require ongoing attention to ensure resident safety and comfort.
