145 2nd Avenue is a 7-story, 24-unit Old Law Tenement building located in the East Village, built in 1920 and currently owned by Nicholas Quinn. The building has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant being a current Department of Health complaint regarding construction lead dust in common areas (as of June 2025) and multiple heat/hot water complaints in April 2025 that affected the entire building. The property has documented various maintenance problems in 2024, including appliance issues (refrigerator and electric/gas range), water leaks, and unsanitary conditions related to mold, pests, and plumbing systems.
Two emergency heat/hot water complaints were recorded in April 2025, representing a critical building system failure. The building underwent significant construction work in recent years, leading to multiple violations and complaints. In 2024, Apartment 10 was found to have lead-based paint hazards and various maintenance issues, while Apartment 6 had problems related to fire safety egress and water leakage. Building-wide issues included violations regarding self-closing doors and compromised fire safety features.
An inspection in 2025-2024 revealed rat activity and required baiting applications. The Department of Buildings (DOB) records show several active violations as of 2025, including boiler issues, elevator defects from 2019, and other persistent maintenance concerns. Recent inspections in 2025 and late-2024 have passed rodent inspections, but the building continues to show signs of maintenance challenges affecting resident comfort and safety. The property has maintained a record of zero bedbug infestations in recent reporting periods (2018-2024), although this is based on self-reporting procedures.
