205 2nd Avenue is a 5-story, 19-unit residential building located in the East Village, owned by Tzvi Wertenteil and constructed in 1950 as a New Law Tenement. The building has experienced recent electrical issues, with a significant lighting problem reported in October 2024 that resulted in HPD violations, though this complaint was ultimately closed in May 2025.

The property has a history of regulatory interactions, most notably in 2018 when several violations were issued regarding gas safety concerns, including the improper installation of gas dryers and lack of sprinkler systems, resulting in penalties totaling $6,600, though these were resolved. The building faced multiple plumbing complaints in April 2019, but inspections found no violations at that time. Recent records indicate that the building has maintained good hygiene standards, with no reported bedbug infestations over the past five years (2019-2024), and all annual bedbug reports showing zero infested units.

Additionally, 205 2nd Avenue has consistently passed rodent inspections, with the most recent inspection in April 2025 noting compliance. The building's violation history shows some instances of delayed correction reporting in 2018 and 2021, though these were ultimately resolved or dismissed based on subsequent inspections. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, recent records suggest improved compliance with health and safety standards, with no new pest or rodent concerns noted in recent inspections.
