2852 8th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10039
The 8-story, 69-unit residential building at 2852 8th Avenue in Harlem, owned by Central Harlem Associates, LLC and completed in 1992, has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years, particularly during 2025. The property currently faces open complaints regarding indoor air quality and sewage odors (June 2025), as well as environmental concerns with open HPD complaints regarding water leaks (both slow and heavy flow), mold, and pests from 2024-2025.
Notably, the building's 6th floor apartment (6I) has multiple open violations from October 2024, including electrical outlet cover issues, door problems, plumbing concerns, and pest infestations (mice and roaches), along with a defective smoke detector and various maintenance issues requiring repairs. The building's infrastructure and safety systems have raised ongoing concerns, particularly with multiple recent elevator-related complaints (active since June 2025), and historical violations including elevator safety issues (2019-2021) that resulted in penalties.
The property has shown recurring rodent activity, with recent inspections in 2025 and 2024 indicating persistent rat presence, though a successful bait application was noted in 2024. While there are no current bedbug infestations reported (latest filings from 2024-2025 show zero infested units), the building's maintenance record shows a pattern of unresolved or repetitively reported issues, including water leaks, door/window problems, and unsanitary conditions. The building has failed to consistently file required energy benchmarking reports (active violations from 2023) and has multiple open violations related to necessary repairs and maintenance as of 2024-2025, suggesting ongoing challenges with property upkeep and regulatory compliance.
