Augrented Insights Report for 2591 Fredrick Douglass Bl

The 5-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building at 2591 Frederick Douglass Blvd in Harlem, owned by Hamad Ali, has experienced multiple maintenance issues over the past two years. In 2024 alone, there were several emergency and non-emergency complaints filed, including concerns about doors/windows, flooring, walls, paint/plaster, electrical outlets, and heat/hot water issues.

Notably, there are four active Housing Maintenance Code violations as of October 2024 related to required safety notices for smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detection, building registration, and heating system access. The building has also faced ongoing rodent control challenges, with multiple inspections in 2024 showing rat activity in May and bait application required through the year, though the most recent May 2025 inspection passed.

There appears to be a pattern of accessibility issues for inspections, with HPD unable to gain access to units during investigations of heat/hot water problems and some other complaints. While many complaints were ultimately closed without violations being found, the building has an active violation regarding the failure to file external low-pressure inspections from 2020-2023, and there were issues noted in 2024 regarding water heater access and various maintenance matters. Historical complaints from 2022-2024 indicate some recurring concerns about building systems and maintenance, though the building's bedbug report shows no infestations during the specified period from November 2022 to October 2023.
