2457 Frederick Douglass Boulevard, Manhattan, NY 10027
2457 Frederick Douglass Boulevard is a 5-story, 8-unit residential tenement building in Harlem, built in 1901 and currently owned by Dustin Alexander. The building has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance issues over the past several years. Most recently, in March 2023, the building received an A-class violation for failing to submit the required annual bedbug report, though subsequent filings from 2023-2024 show no reported infestations.
The property has undergone multiple construction and maintenance activities, with several complaints regarding unpermitted construction work between 2018-2020, including illegal after-hours work and construction contrary to approved plans. During this period, two significant Department of Buildings (DOB) Environmental Control Board violations were issued against Phiden Construction LLC for work contrary to a stop work order, resulting in combined penalties of $18,750. The building's rodent inspections show a mixed history, with the most recent five inspections (2023-2025) generally passing, though there was one failure in May 2023.
Historical records indicate a pattern of addressing maintenance issues, including multiple permit issuances between 2018-2021 for various work types, including plumbing and alteration work. The property has shown improvement in recent years, with no complaints or violations recorded in 2023-2025 affecting resident safety or comfort. The building's bedbug reporting status has been consistently compliant since 2023, with no reported infestations, and all recent rodent inspections have passed. The most recent housing maintenance code violations appear to have been resolved, with current records showing no active violations that would impact resident quality of life.
