317 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10003
317 2nd Avenue is a 6-story, 18-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Terrence Lowenberg. The Gramercy property has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, most notably involving plumbing problems. In early 2024 alone, there were multiple complaints and service requests related to both bathtubs/showers and basin/sink issues, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) found no violations in these cases.
The building has also faced heating and hot water system challenges, with emergency complaints in 2022 and 2024 that were subsequently addressed. A significant maintenance concern was identified in 2024 when HPD issued two Class C violations regarding doors preventing self-closing functionality at the building's front entrance and vestibule, though these were certified as corrected in May 2024. The building's inspection history shows generally good pest management, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past three years (2021-2024), and successful rodent inspections in 2018, 2020, and most recently in 2025.
Historical records indicate various maintenance issues over the years, including problems with cooking gas supply in 2020, pest control inspections in 2022, and heating system complaints. The building has undergone several plumbing-related modifications, with multiple permits issued between 2019 and 2024 for plumbing work. Safety compliance measures have been addressed through various HPD orders, including those requiring proper signage regarding gas leak procedures, though there was a brief period in 2024 when the building front door's self-closing mechanism was found to be disabled. Recent inspections and permits suggest ongoing maintenance efforts, with work continuing to be performed under proper permits as of 2024.
