132 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10003

132 2nd Avenue, a 6-story New Law Tenement built in 1900 with 15 units, has experienced recurring heating infrastructure challenges in early 2025, with five heat and hot water-related complaints filed between January 12-27, 2025, three of which pertained to the entire building. The building has maintained a consistent record of rodent control success, passing all inspections from 2020 through 2025, including the most recent inspection in May 2025. A notable building-wide complaint regarding inadequate sprinkler systems was filed and inspected in July 2024, though no violations were documented at that time.

The property had two significant plumbing issues in 2023 (August and November), with one water supply complaint in November 2023 resulting in a violation that took until April 2024 to close. The building's maintenance history shows regular inspections and prompt attention to most issues, with no documented bedbug infestations since 2018. A violation was issued in 2019 regarding the failure to file the 2017 boiler inspection report, which was later dismissed in October 2023.

Safety inspections in April 2023 related to fire escapes and tenant safety found no violations. The property management has generally responded to complaints and undergone regular inspections, with some instances of HPD being unable to gain access for inspections, most recently noted in complaints from November 2023 and January 2025. The building also had two 311 service requests in early 2025 regarding heating issues, which resulted in violations being issued and require correction by the property owner.
