738 St Nicholas Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10031

738 St Nicholas Avenue is a three-story, four-unit residential building in Harlem, owned by Lucille Grey and constructed in 1888. The property has been subject to several notable regulatory requirements and inspections over the past decade. Most significantly, there was a failure to file the 2022 external low-pressure inspection, with this violation remaining active as of April 2023.

The building has demonstrated consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2020 through 2024, showing zero cases of infestation during these periods. Housing Maintenance Code violations have primarily centered around administrative compliance issues, with multiple violations between 2021 and 2023 related to the annual bedbug report filing requirement, and a 2010 violation regarding proper building registration signage which was only certified as corrected in December 2023. Recent health and safety inspections present a mixed picture.

The most recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025 show consistent passing results, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in November 2023. A notable 311 service request regarding rodent/insect/garbage issues was opened in June 2019 and closed in June 2024, which was addressed according to the resolution description. Historical violations from 2010 include an open Class B violation regarding exposed electrical wires at the building's front in the first story, though there are no recent records indicating this issue persists. The building has maintained regular rodent inspections, with the most recent passing results suggesting effective pest management practices in place.
