742 St Nicholas Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10031
742 St Nicholas Avenue is a 25-unit, 6-story Old Law Tenement building in Harlem, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Yine Acosta. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, with multiple open complaints as of 2025, including unsanitary conditions related to pests, plumbing problems (including radiator and toilet issues), and multiple water leak incidents. Notably, there have been three documented bedbug infestations in 2024-2025 (in apartments 14 and 17) for which violations were issued, though recent filings indicate no units were reported as infested between November 2024 and October 2025.
The building's rodent inspection history shows alternating results, with rat activity recorded in 2025, though it passed inspections in 2024 and previous years. The property has a pattern of water-related issues, with multiple complaints about leaks and damp spots between 2024-2025, including a heavy flow water leak complaint in early 2024 that was closed without violations. Pests have been a recurring problem, with multiple emergency complaints about unsanitary conditions throughout 2024-2025, though some earlier complaints from 2024 were closed without violations.
The building's maintenance history shows some improvements, as evidenced by multiple complaints from 2024 being resolved, but recent open complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The Department of Buildings issued violations in 2021 regarding energy efficiency display requirements, though this was ultimately dismissed. The property has consistently passed rodent inspections over the past decade, with only occasional rat activity noted in recent years.
