151 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10003
151 2nd Avenue is a 6-story, 27-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1900, currently owned by West Lake 151-153 Second Avenue LLC. The building has experienced significant and persistent heating and hot water issues in recent months, with multiple emergency complaints filed between April 25 and April 28, 2025, all regarding the entire building - some of which resulted in HPD inspections and violations being issued. Similar heating issues were documented in July 2023, specifically affecting apartment 3D.
The building has also had recent concerns about safety and maintenance, including open violations from May 2024 regarding missing smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 5C, as well as mold issues in May 2023 affecting apartment 5D's bathroom ceiling. The property has a history of violations requiring attention to life safety systems, particularly during 2019 when multiple violations were issued regarding missing sprinklers and inadequate egress for transient use, resulting in a significant $17,000 violation for unauthorized additional dwelling units. More recent inspections between 2024-2025 show the building has generally passed rodent inspections, though there were incidents of rat activity noted in September 2024 and November 2024.
The bedbug reports from 2019 through 2024 show zero infestations. Several Department of Buildings complaints regarding illegal conversions and safety concerns were filed between 2020-2025, with some resulting in OATH violations being served. The building also has multiple active and resolved Environmental Control Board violations related to improperly maintained vacate orders and failure to comply with correction requirements. While most heating and safety issues have been addressed through violations and orders, there remain open violations regarding smoke and carbon monoxide detector requirements in apartment 5C, and the building's heating system appears to be an ongoing concern as evidenced by the most recent multiple complaints in April 2025.
