72 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10003
72 2nd Avenue is a 6-story, 5-unit residential building located in Manhattan's East Village, constructed in 1929 and currently owned by Brett Haber. The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most recent complaints filed in February 2025 regarding electrical problems (no lighting), window frame issues, and a slow water leak - though HPD inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these complaints. The building has also undergone multiple safety inspections in 2021, with all inspections resulting in compliance confirmations, including a special investigation of possible building shaking concerns which found no violations.
Between 2019 and 2023, the building faced significant violations including illegally converted units and unfiled pressure inspections, though these were subsequently resolved or dismissed. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of water-related issues, with three active complaints in 2025 alone, and historical problems with paint and plaster in 2020. However, recent records indicate successful rodent control measures, with all rodent inspections from 2020 to 2025 passing.
Notably, the building has maintained a clean bedbug record since 2021, with no reported infestations or re-infestations in the past four years. The property has shown good responsiveness to environmental concerns, with rapid resolution of most complaints and regular permitting for maintenance works. Recent inspection history indicates proper maintenance of building systems, though the recurring issues with access during inspections suggests possible communication challenges between management and tenants regarding maintenance access procedures.
