Augrented Insights Report for 2753 Fredrick Douglass Bl

The 2753 Frederick Douglass Boulevard building in Harlem, owned by Keith Gordon, is a 6-story, 24-unit New Law Tenement constructed in 1910. The property has experienced persistent maintenance issues in 2025, with multiple heat and water-related complaints, including a newly opened plumbing issue involving toilets in May 2025. The building has been the subject of numerous complaints and violations over the past three years, with significant issues documented in October 2024 regarding Apartment 1A, including problems with paint, electrical outlets, intercom system, fire egress, and pest infestation.

The elevator has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints documented between 2018-2022, though a single elevator device is no longer the only service on the property. Recent rodent inspections show mixed results, with rat activity noted in late 2024 and early 2025, though the most recent June 2025 inspection passed. The building has a history of bedbug infestations between 2018-2021, but recent filings from 2022-2024 indicate no current infestations.

The property has an active record of housing maintenance code complaints, with multiple violations issued throughout 2025, particularly in February 2025, when several issues were documented including mail delivery problems, heat and water issues, pest control needs, and various infrastructure concerns. Notably, while some complaints have been resolved through HPD inspections and the issuance of violations, others remain open, including a general mailbox issue from February 2025. The building participated in repeated campaigns to address rodent issues between 2023-2025, with multiple bait applications and inspections, showing ongoing efforts to manage pest control. The depth and frequency of maintenance issues, particularly regarding heat, water, and pest control, suggest ongoing challenges with building infrastructure and systems.
