310 East 2nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

The 12-story, 135-unit building at 310 East 2nd Street in the East Village, constructed in 2013 and owned by Majid Kahen, has faced several recurring maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems. Most notably, there have been three heat/hot water complaints in recent years that spanned the entire building: two in early 2025 and December 2024, and one in October 2024 that remains open. The building experienced multiple maintenance issues in October 2024, including plumbing problems with bathtubs/showers and radiators, flooring concerns resulting in issued violations, and unsanitary conditions related to mold. A significant batch of non-emergency maintenance issues from October 2024 included water leaks (both slow and heavy flow), wall and ceiling paint/plaster problems, and general maintenance needs.

Notably, there are active DOB violations from October 2024 regarding structural damage to the entryway caused by vehicle impact and failure to file a required FISP Cycle 9C technical report. The building has shown some history of irregularities, including a vibrating/structural stability complaint in October 2024, and multiple complaints about illegal hotel rooms between 2019-2021, though these were generally closed with no violations found or due to inspectors' inability to gain access. Elevator maintenance issues were documented in 2020, and while there was one reported instance of bedbug infestation in 2018-2019, subsequent annual reports showed no further occurrences. The building maintained generally good rodent control performance, with most inspections passing, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in August 2023, which was followed by a passing inspection in September 2023.

The property has undergone regular maintenance and inspections, with officer certifications for several violations in December 2024, including repairs to various defects in apartment 10C involving plaster, mold, woodwork, lighting, and other maintenance issues. While many violations are resolved, two recent active violations from 2024 warrant attention. The building's management has generally responded to complaints and inspections, though access issues for inspections were documented in multiple heat/hot water complaints. The property's bedbug and rodent control records suggest effective pest management, with no reported infestations in recent years and consistent passing inspections for rodent activity.
