118 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10003
118 2nd Avenue is a 5-story, 23-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Alexander Horn. The property has faced recurring heating system issues, with multiple complaints about heat and hot water failures in 2021 and 2023, though most were resolved quickly. Notable safety concerns emerged in 2023-2024, including multiple complaints about building shaking/vibration and structural stability, though inspections generally found no violations.
The building has experienced recurring maintenance challenges, with several violations related to air conditioning units obstructing fire escapes (2020), missing smoke detectors (2019), and window guard issues (2018). Sanitation concerns have been documented, including garbage/recycling storage violations in 2019 and 2022. The property has passed recent rodent inspections (2024-2025), though there were some concerns about rat activity in 2022.
An active facade issue was noted in 2023 with a violation for displaced stucco above the 5th-floor window, carrying a penalty of $625. The building's bedbug reporting history from 2019-2024 shows no infestations, and all required bedbug reports have been filed. Recent construction-related complaints in late 2023 were primarily met with inspector access issues, and several past complaints about work without permits were found not warranted upon inspection. While the building has maintained basic compliance with most regulations, the pattern of heating system problems and occasional sanitation issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
