191 Edgecombe Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10030

The three-unit, three-story building at 191 Edgecombe Avenue in Harlem, owned by Byron Ellis, has been in operation since 1901 and is classified as a HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS B property. The building has experienced recurring issues with housing maintenance compliance, particularly regarding bedbug report filings, with consecutive violations recorded annually from 2021 through 2024, all of which remain open as of the current date.

More recently, in mid-2023, the building received multiple active violations from the Department of Buildings for failure to file required external low-pressure inspections for 2018, 2020, 2021, and 2022, as well as an outstanding violation from 2019 for not submitting the 2017 boiler inspection report. On a positive note, the property has consistently passed rodent inspections over the past decade, with the most recent inspection in May 2025 showing compliance.

This pattern of regular passing inspections suggests effective pest control measures, though the ongoing bedbug report violations indicate potential challenges with record-keeping compliance. The persistence of violations related to both bedbug reporting and required inspections suggests an ongoing pattern of administrative oversight that affects the building's regulatory compliance status, though these issues do not appear to directly impact the building's habitability based on available data.
