Augrented Insights Report for 2491 8th Avenue

The 19-story, 260-unit residential building at 2491 8th Avenue in Harlem, currently owned by Joan Browne, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent months (2024-2025), including problems with ventilation systems, pest infestations, and insufficient lighting. Multiple complaints regarding electrical issues, plumbing problems, and window/door maintenance were reported in May 2025, with some inspections unable to be completed. The building has a documented history of bedbug infestations, with the most recent report (2024-2025) showing two units affected, though they were subsequently treated.

Rodent activity has been a recurring issue, with multiple inspections in 2024 showing rat presence, though recent inspections in 2025 have shown some improvement. The building underwent facade renovation work in 2020-2021, during which several safety violations were noted regarding scaffold usage and worker training, resulting in fines totaling approximately $7,500. Recent inspections of specific apartments (notably 10N and 18E) have revealed various maintenance issues, including problems with plaster surfaces, smoke detectors, window frames, and kitchen fixtures.

The building has experienced recurring issues with building codes and maintenance requirements, including violations related to carbon monoxide detectors, wall conditions, and various repairs. Despite these challenges, many of the older violations have been resolved or dismissed, including those related to exterior walls and facade maintenance. The property has undergone regular tenant safety inspections through the Department of Buildings, with varying results regarding compliance with maintenance standards.
