117 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10003
117 2nd Avenue is a four-story, two-family residential building located in the East Village, constructed in 1843 and currently owned by Crystal Wezwick. The property has experienced persistent rodent and pest issues over the past two years, with multiple 311 complaints and inspections indicating rodent activity, insects, and garbage concerns throughout 2023-2025. Between 2023-2024, there were several Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) complaints regarding food establishment conditions, including concerns about allergy information, kitchen areas, and unsanitary conditions.
The building has also been cited for various Housing Maintenance Code violations, including issues with fire retardant materials, concrete moldings, and missing safety notices in common areas, most notably during an October 2023 inspection. The Department of Buildings has documented several active violations regarding external low-pressure inspection filings between 2018-2023, as well as a more recent October 2023 citation for a broken concrete molding around the building entrance. There was a significant incident in 2023 regarding an unauthorized wood structure attachment to the building, though this violation has since been resolved.
Historical records show previous plumbing issues from 2019 involving toilet and sink problems. While the building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations from 2017-2024, the property has undergone regular rodent baiting operations in 2023-2025, with the most recent inspection in June 2025 indicating rat activity. The building's age and history as a two-family house have resulted in numerous maintenance requirements, with several violations remaining open as of the latest inspection dates.
