2 St Nicholas Place, Manhattan, NY 10031
The 6-story, 30-unit tenement building at 2 St Nicholas Place in Harlem, owned by Sam Klein and constructed in 1904, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, a two-alarm fire occurred in February 2024, resulting in substantial roof damage, creating multiple active violations related to fire safety and building maintenance. The building has faced recurring heating and hot water system failures, with multiple complaints reported between late 2024 and early 2025.
Recent health and safety concerns include open complaints regarding indoor air quality (sewage odor), pest infestations, and various water leaks documented through multiple Housing Maintenance Code complaints in mid-2025. The property has a history of elevator service issues, with several complaints about the single-device elevator system and resulting violations between 2023 and 2024. The building's maintenance record shows recurring issues with structural elements, including water damage affecting various building systems, and persistent problems with pests and sanitation.
There have been multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions, including mold and garbage storage issues. Bedbug reports show periodic infestations between 2019 and 2024, though none were reported in the most recent filing period. The property has also faced challenges with basic building maintenance requirements, including failure to file necessary inspection reports, though some historical violations from previous years have been resolved. Recent inspections in 2025 show some rat activity despite efforts to address the issue, as indicated by multiple rodent inspections and bait applications throughout 2024 and 2025.
