73 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10003

The five-story, 10-unit Old Law Tenement building at 73 2nd Avenue, owned by Anh Do, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, particularly in 2024-2025. Multiple inspections and service requests indicate ongoing concerns with building systems and safety features. Most notably, there have been recurring rodent issues, with the most recent rat activity inspections in May and July 2025 showing continued infestation problems, despite previous bait applications throughout 2024.

Recent violations (February - March 2025) included concerns about smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors, with violations issued requiring correction. The building has also faced multiple plumbing issues, particularly with toilets, though some inspections found no violations. An extensive October 2024 inspection of Apartment 2 revealed several open violations requiring attention, including problems with tile floors, wall and ceiling surfaces, and various safety systems.

These violations include defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, floor tile issues, and multiple problems with interior surfaces requiring repair. The building's recent service history shows multiple complaints about various systems, including electrical lighting issues, window frame problems, and plumbing concerns, though many inspections found no violations. Despite these maintenance challenges, the building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status in recent filings between 2019 and 2025. Two complaints regarding work without permits in December 2024 were investigated but found no violations at the time of inspection.
