Augrented Insights Report for 2850 Fredrick Douglass Bl

At 15 stories and built in 1968, the 116-unit residential building at 2850 Frederick Douglass Blvd in Harlem, currently owned by Herminio Torres, has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues over the past year. The most recent complaints from June 2025 involve multiple open service requests related to plumbing (bathtub/shower), cabinet issues, paint/plaster (ceiling), and an electric/gas range appliance problem, all of which have not been resolved as of the latest data. There have been recurring heat and hot water problems, with complaints in March and May 2025, though some were reported as corrected or required tenant access for inspection.

The building has faced consistent elevator and boiler system concerns, with multiple complaints between late 2024 and early 2025 regarding various defects. A concerning pattern of rodent activity has been documented through multiple inspections between 2023 and 2025, with the most recent reports showing active rat presence as of February 2025. While several Housing Maintenance Code violations were addressed in early 2025, including the installation of required safety signage and inspection certificates, there are still open issues requiring attention.

The building's recent history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing maintenance challenges, including a December 2024 inspection identifying multiple boiler-related issues such as corroded components and exposed wiring, though some other inspections have found no violations. Bedbug reports indicate one infested unit in the 2023-2024 period with successful eradication. The property has undergone various inspections and permit issuances for essential equipment and building systems between 2018 and 2022, including elevator and boiler work, with most recent permits showing active status in 2022. While some historical violations have been dismissed or resolved, the frequency of recent complaints and open service requests suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort are present as of mid-2025.
