2705 Fredrick Douglass Bl, Manhattan, NY 10030
The six-unit, three-story Old Law Tenement building at 2705 Frederick Douglass Boulevard in Harlem, owned by Lecold Thomas, has experienced persistent environmental maintenance challenges over the past several years. The most pressing ongoing issue appears to be related to bedbug reporting compliance, with four consecutive annual violations from 2021 through 2024 (most recently in April 2024) for failing to file the required annual bedbug reports as mandated by Housing Maintenance Code § HMC.
More recently, there have been fluctuations in pest control success, particularly regarding rodent management, with mixed results in inspections throughout 2023-2025. The building experienced rat activity in both March and April 2024, though it passed its most recent rodent inspection in March 2025, suggesting some improvement in pest management.
The property has maintained a consistent record of passing initial rodent inspections in 2023, 2024, and most recently in 2025, indicating some level of compliance with rodent control requirements, despite the noted rat activity earlier in 2024. The building, constructed in 1920, continues to face challenges typical of older New York City tenements, particularly regarding compliance with modern housing maintenance standards.
