298 Convent Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10031
The 12-unit, 3-story building at 298 Convent Avenue in Hamilton Heights, owned by Kyle Rawlins, has experienced several notable housing quality issues since 2023. Most concerning are the ongoing pest problems, with multiple reports of rodent activity and unsanitary conditions related to pests throughout 2024, leading to open violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements dating back to 2021-2024.
The building has also faced heat and hot water issues in late 2023, though these were resolved promptly by HPD. A Department of Buildings violation from November 2019 remains active regarding the failure to file an annual boiler inspection report from 2017. The building's rodent inspection history presents a mixed picture, with several inspections in 2024 showing failed results for rat activity, including multiple instances in March and April 2024, though more recent inspections in 2025 show improvement with a "Passed" status.
The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of repeat violations and inspection failures related to pest control, with the most recent inspections in 2025 suggesting either improved conditions or effective remediation efforts. The property has required multiple agency interventions to address both heating system issues and pest infestations, though in some cases (particularly with the unsanitary conditions complaints), inspectors were unable to gain access to verify reported conditions. While some issues have been promptly addressed when brought to the attention of authorities, the persistence of certain violations over multiple years, particularly regarding annual reporting requirements and pest control measures, indicates ongoing challenges with building maintenance and compliance.
