170 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10003
170 2nd Avenue is a 16-story, 76-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1928, currently owned by Jonathan Silver. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns emerging from multiple Housing Maintenance Code complaints in late 2022 regarding doors, stairs, and intercom systems, though no violations were ultimately issued.
Between 2018 and 2020, multiple violations were recorded related to building safety systems and maintenance requirements, including issues with fire escape windows, gas leak procedures, and building registration signage, all of which were eventually resolved. The building has undergone various construction work and inspections between 2019 and 2025, with recent activity including three Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspections in 2024 showing continued oversight of building safety systems.
The property has maintained a relatively stable environment with respect to pest control, with bedbug reports showing minimal activity in recent years (only two cases reported between 2017-2020), and rodent inspections from 2021-2025 showing mostly passed results, though there were small signs of rat activity noted in 2021 and 2023. Recent Department of Buildings inspections in 2023 revealed violations for failure to file external low-pressure inspections in 2021 and 2022, though these were dismissed as of June 2024. The building's recent maintenance history suggests ongoing oversight and correction of various safety and building maintenance requirements, with regular permit issuance for maintenance work and prompt response to most violation notices.
