33 Convent Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10027

33 Convent Avenue is a 5-story, 24-unit residential building located in Harlem, built in 1910 and currently owned by Maggie Villane. The building has experienced several notable issues in recent years, particularly concerning building systems and maintenance. In early 2024, there were two emergency complaints regarding cooking gas and heat/hot water issues affecting the entire building, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.

The building's violation history from 2018 shows multiple maintenance concerns, including locked heating system access, problematic air conditioning installations on the 3rd and 4th floors, and the need for proper safety signage regarding gas leaks, carbon monoxide detectors, and smoke detector requirements in the public areas. Several marble treads in the public staircase areas were found to be broken during the 2018 inspection. The building has been relatively free of pest issues in recent years, with the most recent bedbug reports from 2024 indicating zero infested units for multiple consecutive years.

However, there have been notable rodent control activities, particularly in late 2023 through 2025, with three passed inspections recently, showing improved conditions. The building's maintenance record suggests ongoing attention to various safety and maintenance requirements, with most violations from 2018 being closed by late 2018-2019, though some violations remained open as of the last report. The most recent inspections in 2025 indicate passed results, suggesting better compliance with rodent control requirements.
