208 Edgecombe Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10030

208 Edgecombe Avenue is a three-story, three-unit residential building in Harlem, constructed in 1901 and currently owned by Valerie Simmons Miller. The building has experienced recurring plumbing issues, particularly with water supply problems, as evidenced by multiple complaints in 2020.

While some of these complaints resulted in violations, one was resolved without any violations being issued. The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, receiving multiple housing code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements from 2020 through 2024, although the most recent bedbug report (2023) indicates no infested units, with all previous infestations having been successfully eradicated. The property has demonstrated consistent commitment to maintaining basic health and safety standards, with regular rodent inspections showing passing results from 2016 through 2025, suggesting effective pest management.

Notably, the building has had documented violations requiring specific repairs, such as leaky faucets and door closure issues in Apartment 2, which have since been resolved. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, the majority of violations appear to have been addressed promptly, with recent inspection results indicating improved compliance with housing codes. The current open violation from 2024 relates solely to bedbug reporting requirements, and it is worth noting that the building underwent conversions to a Class A designation, indicating a change in ownership or management status.
