426 St Nicholas Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10027
426 St Nicholas Avenue is a 5-story, 20-unit residential building in Harlem, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Jorge Guaraca. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with particular concerns about heat and hot water systems during 2024, when multiple complaints were filed regarding inadequate heat/hot water throughout the building. Additionally, there have been ongoing pest control issues, with several complaints about pests recorded between 2023 and 2024, including a rat sighting in May 2024.
The building has faced multiple housing maintenance code violations, most notably in 2024, including a Class C violation for defective self-closing doors in apartment 2B, inadequate hot water in apartment 3C, and issues with the building's heating system access. Safety concerns have also been noted, including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 3A (September 2023) and a violation regarding obstructed fire escape access involving Christmas lights (July 2023). The building's maintenance history shows some positive developments, as evidenced by recent rodent inspections in 2025 and late 2024 resulting in passing grades, though there have been multiple instances of rat activity noted in earlier inspections throughout 2023-2024.
The property has shown compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no infested units reported in the past three filing periods (2022-2024). While the Department of Buildings received complaints about unpermitted work in 2022 and 2023, inspections found no violations in these cases. The building has a significant history of emergency and non-emergency maintenance requests, with HPD and DOHMH involved in addressing various issues, though access issues have sometimes hindered inspections. The most recent bedbug report (2024) and rodent inspection (2025) indicate some improvement in pest management, but other maintenance concerns, particularly relating to heat/hot water and pest control, have persisted.
