219 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10003
The four-story, six-unit mixed-use building at 219 2nd Avenue in the East Village, owned by Dan Lee and constructed in 1920, has experienced a range of maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. Most notably, the building has faced ongoing challenges with rodent activity, particularly in 2022-2024, where multiple inspections showed rat activity, though recent rodent inspections in 2024-2025 have passed.
The property has also had recurring concerns about garbage and recycling storage, with at least one 311 complaint in 2022-2023 that HPD could not inspect. Two Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2019-2020 regarding bedbug reporting requirements were documented, though subsequent annual reports from 2021-2025 show no evidence of bedbug infestations or related issues.
The building's recent history includes a brief period of non-compliance with the vaccine mandate in December 2021 and two food establishment-related complaints in 2019, though both were administratively closed with resolution. A lighting violation was recorded in 2019 regarding inadequate front entrance lighting, which was certified as corrected by June 2019. While the property has weathered various regulatory requirements over the years, including the bedbug reporting mandate and rodent inspections, its current status suggests improved conditions, with recent rodent inspections passing and no recent bedbug issues reported.
