317 Edgecombe Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10031

The 6-story, 118-unit building at 317 Edgecombe Avenue, Harlem, owned by Greisman 2011 Family Trust II, was constructed in 1930 as a New Law Tenement. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, with multiple service requests and violations documented between 2016 and 2025. Most recently, in June 2025, there were violations related to ceilings, electrical systems, plumbing, and unsanitary conditions.

A December 2024 inspection revealed violations regarding hot water access in apartment 67A and concerns about the heating system's boiler room security. The building has faced persistent rodent issues, with rat activity documented in May 2025 and previous inspections showing similar results in 2021 and 2017. Significant infrastructure concerns have been noted in recent years, including multiple violations for lead-based paint hazards (particularly in apartment 6D), water leaks, and various plumbing issues.

The property has a history of elevator-related complaints, with multiple investigations in 2023 and 2025, though no violations were found upon inspection. Notably, there is an active ECB violation from April 2023 regarding unauthorized occupancy of an additional unit adjacent to the superintendent's apartment at the cellar level, with a penalty of $2,500 imposed. The building's maintenance history shows some improvements, as indicated by closed violations, but the frequency and variety of recent complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has maintained a consistent record of addressing bedbug issues, with zero infestations reported in the past three years (2021-2024).
