411 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10010

The 5-story, 36-unit building at 411 2nd Avenue in Kips Bay, owned by Valon Rexhepi and constructed in 1950, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, in 2025, there were multiple complaints about heat/hot water issues affecting the entire building, water supply problems, and flooring concerns, though inspectors were unable to gain access to complete their evaluations. These followed a pattern from previous years, including 2024, when similar heating concerns were reported.

The building has documented violations related to safety equipment, including smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector issues, particularly in apartment 2E as of June 2024. Additional concerns were recorded in 2023-2024 regarding unsanitary conditions, including mold and pest issues, though inspections found no violations in these cases. The property has faced various building system challenges, including a recorded active ECB violation as of October 2023 regarding burnt/defective armor cable in the floor joist, which carries a penalty of $830.00.

There have been multiple complaints about flooring issues, safety concerns, and appliances throughout different units over the past few years. Recent inspections in 2025 have continued to monitor for bedbug and rodent issues, with the most recent rodent inspection in April 2025 passing successfully. The building's maintenance history includes several Department of Buildings violations regarding failure to file external low pressure inspections between 2020-2022, though these were dismissed. While the building has demonstrated compliance with rodent inspections over many years, the recent history shows persistent challenges with heating, safety equipment, and building systems that require ongoing attention.
