36 Convent Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10027
The 25-unit, 5-story residential building at 36 Convent Avenue in Harlem, owned by Janice Johnson, was constructed in 1926 and has experienced several notable issues in recent years. Most concerning is an open water leak complaint filed in January 2025 that remains unresolved as of July 2025, which HPD has acknowledged and attempted to address. The building has maintained active rodent inspection compliance, passing all inspections from 2018 through 2025.
While there have been four documented instances of bedbug infestations between 2020 and 2024, the most recent report from December 2024 indicates successful eradication with no current infestations. The property has had multiple Department of Buildings complaints regarding unauthorized work and permit issues between 2019 and 2023, though inspections did not warrant any violations in these cases. An active violation exists as of June 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2019 external low-pressure inspection.
The building has consistently filed bedbug reports in accordance with regulations, with the most recent report showing zero current infestations. Notably, the building has had no failed rodent inspections in over five years, suggesting effective pest management. The property has also maintained compliance with housing maintenance code requirements, though the current open water leak issue represents a significant unresolved maintenance concern.
