282 Convent Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10031

282 Convent Avenue is a 4-story, 7-unit residential building in Hamilton Heights, constructed in 1902 and currently owned by Claude Howard. The property has a significant number of open Housing Maintenance Code violations, all related to the failure to file required annual bedbug reports, with violations recorded in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021.

These recurring violations suggest an ongoing non-compliance with HPD requirements regarding pest management documentation. The building has one notable environmental violation resolved in 2021 regarding an incomplete permit sign-off from 1997, and one complaint regarding illegal conversion in 2021 which resulted in an Oath violation being served. Additionally, there was a complaint about a vacant, open, and unguarded condition in 2022, though this was investigated and determined not to warrant a violation.

On a more positive note, the building has demonstrated consistent compliance with rodent inspections, passing all inspections from 2016 through to the most recent inspection in June 2025. The property has maintained a clean record regarding pest control compliance, as indicated by these successful rodent inspections, though it's worth noting that these inspections do not directly address bedbug management issues. While the building does have some operational and compliance issues that require attention, particularly regarding bedbug reporting requirements, it has maintained a generally acceptable standard for rodent control over the past several years.
