Augrented Insights Report for 131 2nd Avenue

131 2nd Avenue, a 6-story, 20-unit tenement built in 1900 and currently owned by Shane Rajcooar, has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges throughout 2024-2025, particularly regarding heating and water systems. The building has faced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints filed between March and April 2025, affecting both individual apartments and entire building systems. While HPD inspections generally verified resolution of these issues, they often required multiple service requests in close succession.

The building has been under scrutiny for various maintenance violations, including active violations as of August 2024 related to rust on balconies and fire escape ladders, though many other violations from 2024 have been certified as corrected. There have also been documented rodent control issues, with inspections in 2025 showing rat activity and the application of bait. Additional concerns include water infiltration affecting Apartment 8, as documented in a 2024 ECB violation, and multiple instances of non-compliance with temperature reporting device installation requirements, with violations remaining open for several apartments as of 2024.

The property has a history of infrastructure challenges, as evidenced by multiple complaints regarding building shaking/vibration stability concerns in late 2023-early 2024, though inspection records indicate access issues for verification. There have been some positive developments, including successful certification of various maintenance violations and regular bedbug reporting showing no infestations in recent years. Recent Dept of Buildings complaints from 2025 indicate ongoing plumbing maintenance issues, with one case resulting in a partial stop work order. The building's age and history of violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, though many previous violations have been resolved through certified corrections.
