157 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10003
157 2nd Avenue, a 4-story, 6-unit Old Law Tenement built in 1900, is currently experiencing multiple indoor air quality issues related to construction dust, with four complaints filed between February and April 2025. The building has had several significant maintenance concerns over the past few years, including a series of complaints in December 2024 regarding plumbing (toilet), ceiling (paint/plaster), and refrigerator issues, though inspections were reportedly unable to be completed.
Historical issues include two active ECB violations from December 2021 regarding boiler safety concerns (missing discharge pipe, improper combustion air connection, etc.) with one violation carrying a penalty of $3,125. The building has demonstrated some recurring pest challenges, with rodent activity reported during inspections in late 2024, though most rat inspections since 2022 have passed.
On the positive side, the building's bedbug reports from 2018 to 2024 show no documented infestations, and recent rodent inspections have shown improvement, with the most recent inspection in May 2025 passing. The property has also experienced some mechanical issues, including a heat/hot water emergency in March 2022 and a defective electrical wiring complaint in July 2020, though access was not granted for the latter inspection. The building's violation history shows a consistent pattern of addressing maintenance issues as they arise, with most violations being marked as closed or resolved through appropriate channels.
