Augrented Insights Report for 2738 Fredrick Douglass Bl

The 73-unit, 6-story building at 2738 Frederick Douglass Boulevard in Harlem, built in 1920, is currently experiencing multiple maintenance challenges under the ownership of Keith Gordon. Recent service requests from 2025 indicate ongoing issues with heat and hot water, electrical systems, and pest control. Notably, there have been recurring problems with both heat/hot water and electrical outages throughout March and April 2025, along with multiple complaints about rodent activity, including a recent rat sighting in June 2025.

The building has also documented three instances of bedbug infestations between 2019-2024, though recent reports from late 2024 show no current infestations. The property has a significant history of elevator-related issues, with multiple complaints between 2019 and 2025 regarding service interruptions and safety features. Recent inspections in 2024 identified various elevator problems, including inoperative phone service, misaligned doors, and other operational concerns, though some of these violations have been resolved.

The building currently has several open violations on record from a December 2024 inspection of Apartment 3J, including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, peeling paint, water leaks, and mold conditions. Additionally, there are active violations regarding the failure to file external low-pressure inspections in 2018-2019, and historical records show a pattern of boiler inspection reporting issues between 2018-2021. The property's maintenance records suggest ongoing challenges with basic building systems and infrastructure, as evidenced by numerous emergency and non-emergency complaints filed through 311 services and subsequent inspections by housing authorities.
