48 St Nicholas Place, Manhattan, NY 10031
48 St Nicholas Place, a 41-unit, 6-story tenement building in Harlem built in 1913, is currently experiencing several significant maintenance issues as of mid-2025. There are open complaints regarding water supply problems (as of May 2025), and recent reports have documented the presence of mold, plumbing issues with bathtubs/showers, and wall problems. Earlier in 2025, the building had heat and hot water issues affecting the entire structure.
The property has a history of plumbing problems, with multiple complaints about toilets and water supply issues between 2024-2025, some of which required emergency responses. The building has faced various infrastructure challenges, particularly with its elevator system, which has been the subject of multiple complaints over the years regarding its single-device service with no alternate service (2019-2023). Electrical safety has been a concern, with violations recorded for defective/exposed wiring in 2021.
Recent rodent activity has been consistently documented, with multiple inspections in 2024-2025 showing rat activity and rodent control measures being applied. The Department of Buildings has several active violations from 2018 regarding unauthorized electrical work and occupancy concerns, and there have been recurring bed bug infestations reported between 2021-2024. The building's maintenance history shows both recurring issues and some improvements, with various violations being certified as corrected, though some remain open or unresolved as of the latest inspections.
