2651 8th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10030
This five-story New Law tenement building at 2651 8th Avenue in Harlem, built in 1920 and owned by Joseph Zitolo, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints, with two such incidents reported in January 2022 (affecting both individual apartments and the entire building), and another in late 2023, though access issues have prevented inspections in some cases. The building has also faced safety-related concerns, including a recent April 2025 smoke detector complaint that was inspected but found to have no housing law violations.
A significant mold issue was documented in April 2024 (affecting apartment 4F), leading to violations for proper remediation, along with problems requiring attention to window guards and peeling paint. The property has undergone various inspections and repairs between 2018 and 2025, with mixed results. Recent inspections in 2025, 2024, and 2023 have generally passed rodent inspections, though there were failures in this regard documented in 2019 and 2018.
Violations related to building systems and infrastructure have been documented, including a defective fire escape ladder adjustment requirement identified in May 2024. The building's maintenance history shows some improvements, with the most recent bedbug reports (for 2023-2024 and 2024-2025) showing no infestations, following previous instances in 2020 and 2019. While many individual service requests have been resolved, the recurring nature of heating, safety, and maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and infrastructure.
