2918 Fredrick Douglass Bl, Manhattan, NY 10039

The 12-unit, 4-story tenement building at 2918 Frederick Douglass Boulevard in Harlem, managed by 2918 FD Realty LLC, has experienced several recurring issues over the past two years, with the most prominent concerns being rodent infestations and heating system problems. In early 2024, there was a notable pattern of heating and hot water complaints, with multiple reports between January and February indicating problems affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. While some of these issues were reportedly resolved upon inspection, access for verification was often a barrier to proper investigation.

More recently, there have been ongoing rodent-related issues, with 311 service requests in 2025 recording complaints about pest problems. The building's rodent inspection history shows mixed results throughout 2023-2025, with some inspections passing and others indicating rat activity or requiring bait application. The property has undergone several inspections and received multiple violation notices.

In January 2024, Apartment 2B was the focus of several violations, including issues with heating, electrical systems, window sashes, and various maintenance concerns - though most of these violations appear to have been certified as corrected by January 18, 2024. The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status since 2018, with no reported infestations or eradication efforts required in the past seven years. Two building access issues were recorded in 2021 regarding boiler and vent problems, but these complaints were marked closed due to inspectors' inability to gain access during final attempts. Recent rodent inspections in May 2025 passed without notable issues, though there was an initial inspection in February 2025 that showed some rodent activity.
