155 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10003

The four-unit, four-story building at 155 2nd Avenue in the East Village, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Joseph Disalvo, has experienced several notable maintenance and safety events over recent years. Most recently, from 2024-2025, the building underwent regular rodent inspections, with the most concerning findings being "Rat Activity" noted in September 2024, followed by a "Passed" inspection in November 2024, though another report of rat activity was recorded in October 2024.

The building has maintained an impressive record of bedbug management, with all eight consecutive annual reports from 2020 through 2024 showing zero infested or eradicated units. The building's maintenance history reveals a series of violations in 2018 related to Apartment 5, including issues with water leaks, gas supply, door closures, and interior repairs, all of which were certified as corrected by July 2018.

A more recent violation was recorded in February 2022, requiring the filing of an annual bedbug report, though this appears to be the only significant housing maintenance code violation in recent years. The property has also been subject to various health department inspections and complaints, including a currently unresolved mobile food vendor-related garbage complaint from December 2018. The building has passed all recent rodent inspections conducted between 2023 and 2025, except for the aforementioned rat activity findings in 2024, suggesting ongoing efforts to maintain pest control standards.
