230 East 2nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

The 24-unit, 5-story tenement building at 230 East 2nd Street in the East Village, owned by Abraham Lasker, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most recently, in May 2025, there was a pest-related complaint that was resolved within a week. The building has faced recurring pest issues, with multiple reports between 2021 and 2023, including a confirmed roach infestation in the basement in May 2023 that was certified as corrected.

From February to June 2022, there were several complaints regarding heat and hot water issues affecting the entire building, though inspections found these problems had been resolved by the time of HPD's response. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections, with the most recent being conducted in February 2025 and passing the inspection. However, there were periods of concern in 2022, with initial inspections showing rat activity.

A thorough inspection in June 2022 revealed multiple housing code violations, including issues with self-closing doors, missing safety notices, and various repairs needed for safety compliance, all of which were subsequently addressed and certified as corrected. The building's bedbug reporting history shows no infestations or eradication efforts from 2019 to the present, indicating effective pest management in this regard. The property has maintained a consistent record of compliance with housing maintenance codes, with violations being addressed promptly once identified.
