Augrented Insights Report for 2657 Fredrick Douglass Bl

The 14-unit, 5-story tenement building at 2657 Frederick Douglass Boulevard in Harlem, owned by Stephen Crawford, has experienced numerous maintenance challenges since 2021, with the most significant recent issues occurring in 2025. The property has faced recurring heating and hot water problems, with multiple building-wide complaints between January and April 2025, some of which remained unresolved due to access issues for HPD inspectors.

Health and safety concerns are prominent, including recent reports of rodent activity, with inspections in 2025 showing both rat sightings and inspection failures. Environmental control board violations from 2024 remain active regarding inadequate lighting on sidewalk sheds, with a penalty of $10,000 imposed. The building's history shows persistent maintenance issues, including multiple violations related to a defective boiler, safety concerns in 2022 regarding an obstructed egress, and ongoing pest control challenges.

Apartment 1 has documented violations from 2024 for insect and rodent infestations, though some building-wide issues have been resolved through corrective actions, including repairs to floor tiles, plumbing fixtures, and leaks. The building has maintained consistent reports showing zero bedbug infestations since 2019, though rodent activity has been an ongoing concern, with multiple inspections and bait applications recorded throughout 2024 and 2025. Recent 311 complaints indicate continued resident concerns about building conditions, though many service requests have been closed without adequate verification of problem resolution due to access issues.
