Augrented Insights Report for 281 Marcus Garvey Blvd

The six-story, 175-unit building at 281 Marcus Garvey Blvd, owned by Evelyn Minaya, has experienced numerous facilities issues since 2022, with the most concerning recent problems occurring in mid-2025. Multiple complaints were filed in June 2025 regarding ceiling paint/plaster issues, door frame problems, pests, and electrical wiring, though inspections found no violations of housing laws. A significant heat/hot water complaint for the entire building remains open since May 2025, along with a power outage incident from May 2025 where HPD was unable to complete their inspection.

The building has documented rodent activity in 2022 (twice) and 2024, though recent inspections in August 2024 showed compliance. In late 2024, violations were recorded for apartment 4F (mouse infestation) and for various maintenance issues in apartment 5B including electrical outlets, window guards, and an emergency exit door problem. The elevator system has been a recurring issue, with multiple violations and complaints between 2018-2023 regarding maintenance logs, door operation, pit conditions, and electrical systems, including one Class 2 violation from September 2022 still listed as active with a $625 penalty.

Various building maintenance problems were noted in 2022-2023, including issues with water leaks, wiring, and plumbing. The property has shown some improvement in pest management, with no reported bedbug infestations in the latest 2024-2025 reports, following a period of mouse-related violations in multiple apartments between 2022-2024. Historically, there have been several complaints regarding building systems and safety features, including door locks, window guards, and water damage, though many of these violations were eventually resolved through proper remediation efforts.
