Augrented Insights Report for 28 Macombs Place

28 Macombs Place is a 25-unit, 5-story residential tenement building located in Harlem, built in 1920 and currently owned by Robert Cohen. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past five years, with the most recent complaint in February 2025 regarding heat and hot water, which was investigated by HPD and found not to violate housing laws. There has been a recurring pattern of pest-related complaints, particularly in 2023-2024, with three separate reports of unsanitary conditions involving pests, though no violations were issued following HPD inspections.

The building has undergone multiple rodent inspections, with varying results; while recent inspections in 2024-2025 have shown passing results, there were notable rat activity reports in mid-2023 and a rat activity finding in May 2024 before corrective actions were taken. Historical records from 2018 show multiple emergency maintenance issues, including electrical wiring problems, plumbing concerns, and pest infestations, particularly affecting Apartment 17, which received violations for defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, door issues, and pest problems that were subsequently addressed. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2018, with all recent annual filings showing zero infested units.

An illegal hotel room complaint was made in 2018, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. The property has consistently kept up with required rodent inspections and has shown improvement in resolving pest-related issues, as evidenced by the passing inspections and bait application programs initiated in 2023-2024. The most recent bedbug report from December 2024 and all previous reports since 2019 indicate no current or past infestations.
