242 East 2nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

242 East 2nd Street, a 24-unit, 7-story residential building constructed in 2005 and currently owned by Rona Clemente, East Village's property has faced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2024-2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed between February and June 2025, including one instance in June where HPD confirmed restoration of services during their inspection. The building has experienced significant water-related problems, particularly affecting apartments 6A and 6B on the 6th story, with open violations from 2023-2024 citing water leak issues and defective plastered surfaces.

There have also been notable pest control challenges, with apartment 6B experiencing a cockroach infestation in August 2023, though subsequent inspections indicate these issues were addressed. The building's infrastructure has been subject to various regulatory requirements, including the need to file FISP Cycle 9A technical reports (with penalties for non-compliance) and maintain elevator systems, though there are active complaints regarding elevator devices as of May 2025.

While the property has maintained an active bedbug reporting record showing zero infestations or re-infestations since 2019, there have been multiple housing maintenance code violations, particularly regarding exterior wall maintenance and facade conditions. Recent rodent inspections conducted throughout 2023-2024 show consistent compliance with NYCHA standards, with several bait applications followed by "passed" results on initial inspections.
