2455 Fredrick Douglass Bl, Manhattan, NY 10027

The 6-story, 12-unit tenement building at 2455 Frederick Douglass Blvd, owned by Yoel Berkovits, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over recent years, though some improvements show progress in building upkeep. Most recently, in December 2024, there was a pest-related complaint investigated by HPD, following a heat and hot water issue reported in July 2024.

The building has maintained an active rodent inspection schedule, with recent passed inspections in 2025, 2024 (November and July), though there was one failed inspection in May 2024 for unspecified reasons. The property has a history of sanitary condition complaints, particularly regarding pests, with multiple reports in 2018, and there have been three consecutive years (2021-2023) where the annual bedbug reports showed no infestations.

Safety-related incidents have been minimal, with a sprinkler system inspection in 2020 resulting in no violations. Historical records show a pattern of addressing maintenance issues promptly, as evidenced by the closure of multiple 311 complaints, though many were classified as non-emergency. The building's age (built in 1901) is noteworthy, but regular inspections and recent improvements in rodent management suggest ongoing attention to building maintenance, with particular progress in bedbug prevention measures over the past three years.
