123 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10003
The five-story Old Law Tenement building at 123 2nd Avenue in the East Village, owned by George Pasternak, has experienced significant ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding rodent control. Most notably, there was a concerning pattern of rodent-related issues from 2018 through 2024, with multiple reports of rat sightings and conditions attracting rodents.
The most recent rodent inspections in July 2025 passed, following a series of baiting interventions between September 2024 and November 2024. However, the building currently has open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021-2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, suggesting potential pest management issues beyond rodents.
The building has also faced various structural and safety-related complaints, including two reports of being vacant, open, and unguarded in January 2023 (though no violations were found upon inspection), and a significant ECB violation from December 2022 regarding poor maintenance of a vacant lot with security issues and excessive dumping, which carries an active penalty of $655. Other historical complaints include concerns about improper vent/exhaust installation in 2023, excessive debris in 2020, and safety issues with scaffolding in 2019, though investigations typically found no violations. While the building has passed recent rodent inspections, the history of violations and pest control issues suggests ongoing management challenges that have persisted over multiple years.
