296 East 2nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10009
296 East 2nd Street is a 6-story, 8-unit residential building located in the East Village neighborhood, constructed in 2003 and currently managed by owner Mic Gershfeld. The building has experienced consistent bedbug reporting violations between 2021 and 2023, with all violations occurring during annual bedbug reporting inspections, though these violations appear to be administrative in nature rather than indicative of an ongoing infestation problem, as all subsequent bedbug report filings from 2022 to 2024 show zero infested units or eradicated units.
The building has one outstanding Department of Buildings (DOB) violation from 2019 regarding a failure to perform a Category 5 inspection, though this dates back several years and was preceded by a resolved violation in 2021. The property has undergone multiple rodent inspections between 2021 and early 2025, with the majority of these inspections passing successfully.
Notably, there were two instances of rat activity detected in 2021 and 2024, though these appear to be isolated occurrences rather than persistent infestations. The most recent rodent inspection in February 2025 resulted in a passing grade, suggesting improved pest management oversight. The building's maintenance history indicates regular compliance with required inspections and reporting requirements, with the most recent bedbug reporting for the period of November 2023 to October 2024 showing no evidence of infestations, which suggests effective handling of the previous reporting violations.
