Augrented Insights Report for 53 2nd Avenue

The six-story, 20-unit residential building at 53 2nd Avenue in the East Village, owned by David Gatenio, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over recent years. Most recently, in August 2023, there was a water supply plumbing issue that was inspected by HPD but resulted in no violations.

The building has faced recurring flooring problems, with two emergency complaints about floor issues filed and resolved in May 2021. In November 2023, a complaint regarding work without a permit in an occupied multiple dwelling was filed and referred to the Department of Consumer Affairs. The property has shown consistent attention to pest control, with bedbug reports filed annually from 2019 through 2024 showing zero affected units each year.

Rat activity has been a recurring concern, with inspections showing positive results for rat activity in January 2022, July 2022, and most recently in July 2025, though the building passed inspections in between these years. The building's food establishment inspection from 2022, which documented bare hands in contact with food, was administratively closed, indicating resolution of the issue. The building maintains regular compliance with housing maintenance codes, though the history of floor complaints and plumbing issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
