113 East 2nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

The four-story, two-family house at 113 East 2nd Street in the East Village, owned by Moise Lavian, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most recently, in March 2025, there was an emergency sewage complaint investigated by HPD, though no housing law violations were found.

In December 2023, a heat and hot water complaint affecting the entire building was reported, but inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. The building has faced persistent pest control challenges, with initial rat sightings in early 2022 (January and March) leading to multiple inspections, though recent rodent inspections from 2022-2025 have shown consistent passing results. The property has undergone various renovation and compliance activities, particularly between 2019 and 2023, with multiple permits issued for plumbing and electrical work (job number 123811205).

Significant issues arose during 2020-2021, including multiple violations related to construction work without proper permits, tampering with stop work orders, and failure to certify corrections of hazardous violations, though most of these have since been resolved. The building's bedbug report for 2023-2024 shows no infestations, and rodent inspections in 2024-2025 have passed. The property's recent history suggests improved pest management and compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, though maintenance issues such as heat/hot water problems and sewage concerns continue to arise periodically.
