41 St Nicholas Terrace, Manhattan, NY 10027
The 71-unit, 6-story residential building at 41 St Nicholas Terrace in Harlem, owned by Mark Scharfman and constructed in 1926, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most notably, the building suffered substantial damage from a kitchen fire in 2022-2023 that affected ceilings, walls, and windows, prompting an active violation status due to structural non-compliance.
The property has documented persistent rodent activity, with multiple inspections between 2023 and 2025 consistently showing rat presence. In 2024-2025, significant maintenance concerns emerged, including multiple heat/hot water complaints affecting the entire building, unsanitary conditions related to garbage storage, and various plumbing and electrical issues. The most recent complaints and violations indicate ongoing challenges, with open violations from late 2024 in Apartment 18 regarding gas supply, plaster surfaces, pest infestation, water leaks, and window guard issues.
The building has also experienced multiple complaints about unauthorized work and construction issues in early 2025, alongside safety concerns related to fire escapes and elevator service. Compliance inspections have repeatedly documented rat activity, with the most recent inspection in May 2025 confirming continued infestations despite previous bait applications. While the property has shown some responsiveness to individual complaints—such as addressing certain heat and water issues—many structural and pest-related problems appear to be persistent and unresolved, suggesting ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident safety.
