178 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10003
The four-unit, four-story tenement building at 178 2nd Avenue in the East Village, constructed in 1920 and owned by Martin Levine, has maintained a generally stable record over recent years. The property has consistently demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 through 2025, with all reports showing zero infested units.
The building has undergone regular rodent inspections since 2020, with only one compliance inspection in January 2024 showing rat activity, while passing subsequent inspections in 2024 and 2025. The most recent significant incident was a sewage-related complaint in late 2023 that was addressed and closed in mid-2024.
The building has experienced two Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2021 and 2022 regarding the filing of annual bedbug reports, though these appear to have been administrative in nature and subsequent filings have shown no infestations. Despite the age of the building and its location, the overall condition appears stable, with regular inspections and prompt attention to reported issues, though the presence of rat activity in early 2024 and a previous failed rodent inspection in late 2023 are notable concerns.
