436 St Nicholas Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10027
The five-story, 10-unit tenement building at 436 St. Nicholas Avenue in Harlem, owned by Shahram Delafraz, has experienced persistent infrastructure challenges over the past two years, most notably with heating and hot water systems. Between September 2023 and February 2025, there were multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints, with at least ten separate reports regarding building-wide issues, though inspectors often faced access difficulties.
Additional service requests include an elevator maintenance issue in June 2025. The building has documented pest control concerns, with violations for mice infestation in 2024 (Apartment 8) and roach infestation in 2023 (Apartment 5), though the most recent bedbug reports from 2021-2024 show no infested units. The property has undergone various maintenance inspections revealing safety concerns. In late 2024, violations were issued regarding self-closing door mechanisms on both the building's entrance and fifth-story bulkhead doors.
Other documented problems include a 2023 violation for inadequate hot water supply in Apartment 4 and concerns about boiler room access. The building has experienced multiple inspection access challenges, with several Department of Buildings complaints in 2023-2024 being marked as "Inspector Unable To Gain Access" for various categories including work without permits and gas utility issues. While there were issues with heating systems during winter months, recent rodent inspections in 2023-2025 have generally shown passing results, though there was documented rat activity in mid-2024. The building's age (built in 1901) and classification as an "OLD LAW TENEMENT" suggest it faces typical maintenance challenges associated with older NYC residential buildings.
