55 St Nicholas Place, Manhattan, NY 10031
55 St Nicholas Place is a 4-story, 4-unit residential building in Harlem, constructed in 1895 and currently owned by Luis Martino. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in 2024. Multiple emergency service requests were logged in May 2024, including water leaks (both heavy flow), door repairs, and ceiling paint/plaster issues.
An inspection in June 2024 revealed several open violations in Apartment 3, including problems with carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, water leaks, and ceiling plaster/paint. Additionally, there are ongoing safety concerns in the common areas, including a loose handrail, missing glass pane at the entrance door, and issues with self-closing doors, though many of these violations were previously addressed in June 2024. The building's history includes a heat/hot water complaint affecting the entire building in November 2019, which was resolved.
The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all recent filings (including the most recent in May 2025) showing zero infested or re-infested units. However, there have been ongoing challenges with rodent activity, as evidenced by multiple inspections between 2023 and 2025. While the most recent inspection in May 2025 resulted in a "Passed" rating, previous inspections in 2023 and early 2024 indicated rat activity, with bait application necessary in early 2023. The building's maintenance history suggests attention to basic systems is required, with numerous violations related to safety devices (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors) and water-related issues remaining open as of mid-2024.
