103 East 2nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10009
This five-story, 19-unit Old Law Tenement building located at 103 East 2nd Street in the East Village has experienced recurring maintenance issues between 2022 and 2025. Most recently, in early 2025, multiple plumbing and mold-related complaints were registered, though the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to complete inspections. Significant pest issues have been documented, particularly in 2024, when violations were issued for roach and mice infestations in Apartment 16.
The building has faced several critical infrastructure challenges, including a heat/hot water complaint for the entire building in March 2024, and multiple door/window issues in 2023 related to the building entrance. Multiple illegal conversion and illegal hotel room complaints were filed in 2024, with varying levels of inspection access. The building has documented various violations requiring attention, including safety concerns such as a defective smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector in Apartment 16, and an obstructed fire escape reported in February 2024. Several violations remain active regarding the failure to file annual external low-pressure inspections, dating from 2023-2024.
While the building has passed recent rodent inspections (2023-2025), previous inspections indicated rat activity and failure for other reasons in 2022-2023. Notably, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past five reporting periods (2019-2024). The property has experienced recurring issues with plumbing, heating systems, pest control, and door security, and recent violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. However, the regular passing of rodent inspections in recent years indicates some improvement in pest management.
