291 Edgecombe Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10031
291 Edgecombe Avenue is a 6-story, 31-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1909 and currently owned by Angel Fabian. The property has experienced recurring elevator issues over the past several years, with multiple "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service" violations documented between 2019 and 2022, including current active violations related to fire service and car door alignment with penalties totaling $1,875.
The building has also faced significant maintenance challenges, with multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations issued in early 2025, including problems with plumbing, smoke detectors, flooring, and pest issues, all of which received violations requiring correction. A compliance inspection in April 2025 confirmed ongoing rat activity at the property, marking the continuation of a rat infestation pattern observed since 2024. The most recent inspections revealed multiple violations requiring attention, including issues with doors, walls, flooring, plumbing, and safety systems.
Notably, Apartment 6B was the focus of several December 2024 violations regarding ceiling and floor conditions, while common areas have faced issues with lighting and maintenance compliance. The building's history also shows some improvements, with previous violations regarding bedbugs being consistently reported as zero-infested units from 2019-2024, though recent electrical and safety complaints from late 2024 remain unresolved as of early 2025. While some historical violations have been resolved, including those from 2019 regarding exterior structures and building maintenance, the property continues to struggle with basic maintenance issues and safety systems requiring attention per HPD inspections.
