2461 Frederick Douglas Bl, Manhattan, NY 10027
The five-story, 14-unit tenement building at 2461 Frederick Douglas Boulevard in Harlem, owned by Nasser Farhadiab and constructed in 1901, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past several years. Most notably, there was a cluster of violations in 2018, including problems with carbon monoxide detector requirements, multiple missing safety and information signs in the first story public hall, and maintenance issues in apartment 5BB involving both plaster and wood floor concerns.
The building underwent period inspections for bedbug infestations from 2020 to present, with all reports showing zero infested or eradicated units, suggesting effective pest management. The property faced multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints and violations in 2022 related to unauthorized construction work, including a confirmed $625 penalty for work without a permit in commercial space involving steel drop ceilings and electrical installations. Following a period of enforcement activity, including a Stop Work Order issued in December 2022 that was rescinded in April 2025, construction permits were finally issued in April 2025 for work associated with job number 120122125.
The building has maintained consistent rodent control compliance, passing all inspections between 2011 and 2025, and has shown improvement in general maintenance practices, with a significant reduction in open housing maintenance code violations compared to 2018. The most recent inspection data from 2023-2025 indicates regular upkeep of basic building systems and prompt attention to regulatory requirements, though several housing maintenance code violations from 2018 regarding missing safety signage and other requirements remain officially listed as open. The building's bedbug reporting history from 2020 to 2024 shows proactive management, with no recorded infestations or treatment requirements during this period, and all recent inspections have reported passing conditions for rodent control.
