2 East 30th Street, Manhattan, NY 10016

The 5-story, 8-unit building at 2 East 30th Street, owned by Uzi Ben Abraham and constructed in 1925, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most significant problems centering around heat and water systems. Most recently, a heat and hot water complaint was filed in December 2024, though HPD was unable to access units for inspection. The building has a documented pattern of water-related problems, including two water leak complaints in 2019 (one involving heavy flow) and one in 2023 (slow leak).

Multiple heat/hot water complaints have been recorded, with a notable incident in January 2019 when tenants reported restoration of services during HPD's inspection. The property has also faced various safety and maintenance challenges, including several concerning issues in 2023. Three open violations from July 2023 relate to building maintenance, including issues with self-closing doors and a water leak in the first-story public hall.

The building underwent multiple tenant safety inspections in 2024, and while three electrical wiring-related Oath violations were served in 2021, they appear to have been addressed. A building facade issue was documented in May 2024, noting multiple cracks and detached stucco material. The building's management has consistently filed annual bedbug reports showing no infestations since 2021, and rodent inspections from 2010-2012 showed passing results. The property has maintained active status for its permits issued in late 2018 through January 2019, covering various work including electrical (EW), plumbing (PL), and equipment (EQ) modifications.
