434 St Nicholas Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10027
The five-story, 10-unit building at 434 St. Nicholas Avenue in Harlem, owned by Genevieve Outlaw, has a complex maintenance history since its construction in 1938. Recent concerns include recurring heat and hot water issues in late 2023 (three complaints in November) and ongoing door-related problems, with an open Class C violation as of June 2024 for defective self-closing doors in apartment 2B, though previous door complaints from 2024 were closed without violations.
The building has experienced multiple water supply-related plumbing issues, particularly in November 2022, with three separate complaints within a month. The property has also faced rodent management challenges, with multiple inspections showing rat activity between 2023 and 2025, though the most recent May 2025 inspection passed. The building's violation history reveals several concerning patterns, particularly in apartment 4B, where past violations included issues with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, leaky faucets, and water damage to the ceiling.
The building's maintenance record shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, with many complaints being closed without violations being found upon inspection. While the building has maintained bedbug-free status in its annual reports from 2021 to 2024, the persistent rodent activity and recurring plumbing issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. Recent inspections as of 2025 continue to show both open violations and recent repairs, indicating that while some issues are being addressed, others remain persistent.
