104 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10003
104 2nd Avenue is an 8-story, 30-unit residential tenement building located in Manhattan's East Village, built in 1901 and currently owned by Michael Lavian. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concern being a heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building in January 2025, which the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to investigate due to access issues. The building has a documented history of pest-related complaints, with multiple reports in 2023 and 2022, though inspections did not result in issued violations.
More recently, in 2024, complaints about building shaking/vibration were investigated but no violations were warranted. Of particular note are three active Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations from 2021 related to boiler and hot water heater equipment that remain unresolved, with penalties totaling $12,375. The building's maintenance history shows recurring plumbing and water supply issues, with complaints documented in 2022, and multiple emergency service requests related to these systems.
Between 2023 and 2025, the building has been subject to regular rodent control measures, with documented rat activity and bait applications throughout 2024-2025, though there have been some compliance passes as well. The building's mechanical systems have undergone various inspections and repairs, with multiple work permits issued between 2018 and 2023 for equipment maintenance and repairs. Recent energy efficiency compliance issues are evident, with multiple active violations for failure to file required benchmarking reports and display energy efficiency scores throughout 2023-2024.
