331 Edgecombe Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10031
331 Edgecombe Avenue is a 7-story, 44-unit Old Law Tenement building built in 1902, currently owned by C Jewell. The building has experienced significant recurring issues with smoking/vaping violations in smoke-free areas throughout 2025, with the most recent complaint still under investigation as of June 2025.
Winter 2024-2025 was marked by multiple urgent maintenance issues, including heavy water leaks, pest infestations, and heat/hot water problems affecting both individual apartments and common areas. The building has several open Housing Maintenance Code violations as of 2024-2025, primarily affecting apartments 2C and 7B, with issues ranging from broken plaster surfaces to problems with kitchen ventilation and sanitation. The elevator system has been a persistent concern, with multiple complaints about single-device operation and lack of alternate service between 2019 and 2024, though recent inspections show some improvements.
The building's mechanical systems require attention, with active violations related to the external low-pressure inspection and FISP technical report filings. Recent rodent inspections in 2023-2024 show varying results, with both passed inspections and reports of rat activity. While bedbug reports from 2019 to 2024 indicate no infestations requiring eradication, the building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic systems and infrastructure.
