30 Edgecombe Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10030
The 7-unit, 3-story residential building at 30 Edgecombe Avenue in Harlem, owned by Barry Gottehrer and constructed in 1901, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in relation to heating systems and overall building conditions. Most notably, there was a significant heating and hot water system failure in September 2020, with multiple complaints from different tenants, though some complaints could not be inspected due to access issues. The building has documented heating/hot water problems during multiple incidents in 2020, with violations issued in October 2020, and a subsequent emergency complaint about heat/hot water in January 2021.
More recent issues include a September 2023 emergency complaint regarding mold, and a June 2023 complaint about the bell/buzzer/intercom system, which also resulted in violations. The building has shown some improvements regarding pests, with no reported infestations on recent bedbug reports from 2021-2025, and rodent inspections in 2023-2025 consistently passing, though there was some rat activity noted in 2022. The building currently has several open violations from a September 2023 inspection, including issues with the bell/buzzer/intercom system in Apartment 4R, and problems with plastered surfaces and paint in Apartment 2R bathroom.
Historical violations show various maintenance issues, including cooking gas problems in September 2020, and heating system access issues in October 2020. While the building has demonstrated compliance with many housing maintenance code requirements over time, the recurring nature of heating system complaints and more recent mold issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. However, the absence of recent bedbug reports and recent passing rodent inspections indicate some improvements in pest control management.
