393 Edgecombe Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10031

393 Edgecombe Avenue is a 6-story, 24-unit New Law Tenement building in Harlem, constructed in 1912 and currently owned by the Greisman 2011 Family Trust II. The property has experienced several concerning issues over the past two years, most notably a significant pattern of heating and hot water problems between November 2023 and January 2024, during which multiple tenants reported system failures that resulted in multiple HPD violations, though access issues hindered inspections.

More recent concerns include window frame issues documented in January 2024, and as of August 2024, violations were recorded related to window safety and security, including problems with window guards and defective lock mechanisms. The building has a history of elevator service interruptions, with multiple complaints between 2019 and 2021, though these were not substantiated upon inspection. Environmental violations from 2021 included problems with elevator door restrictors and lock monitoring, and while these were resolved, some safety equipment issues have persisted.

Recent inspections have shown consistent rodent infestation monitoring with "Passed" results as of February 2025, though there was evidence of rat activity in September 2022. The building has maintained a relatively clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past several years, with only one reported case in 2019 that was indicated as resolved. Regular 311 complaints and HPD inspections have documented various maintenance issues throughout the building's recent history, including a 2023 general complaint about mailbox conditions and ongoing concerns about window and door maintenance.
