156 East 2nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10009
156 East 2nd Street, a 6-story, 26-unit old law tenement built in 1919 and owned by Irineo Acevedo, has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues throughout 2023-2025. In late 2023 and through early 2025, multiple heat/hot water complaints were filed, with several requiring HPD inspections that resulted in violations, particularly affecting Apartment 10's heating system and hot water fixtures.
The building's front entrance and vestibule doors have been identified as safety concerns, with violations issued in late 2023 for defective hinges and self-closing issues. Recent inspections have also highlighted rodent control challenges, with a current DOHMH complaint from June 2025 regarding rodent/insect/garbage issues still in progress, following a pattern of rat activity noted in early 2024.
The building's history shows a number of significant events, including an ECB violation in 2019 regarding unauthorized occupancy of a first-floor apartment as a wine bar, and various construction-related issues such as improper floor drain installation in the restaurant cellar. Multiple DOB complaints from 2019 show repeated inspector access issues, particularly regarding gas utility referrals and local law compliance inspections. While the building has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance from 2019-2025 with zero infestations reported, the persistent heat and water issues, door safety violations, and recent rodent complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
