Augrented Insights Report for 421 2nd Avenue

The 16-story building at 421 2nd Avenue, owned by Francisco Di Blasi, is a 162-unit Class A residential property built in 1963 located in the Kips Bay neighborhood. The building has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years, most notably a heat and hot water emergency affecting the entire building in January 2025, for which HPD was denied access during their investigation. There has been a recurring rodent problem, with multiple complaints filed between 2019 and 2023, including confirmed rat activity in late 2023.

The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene conducted inspections in late 2023 and early 2024, during which bait was applied, suggesting ongoing pest management efforts. The building's history includes various safety and maintenance violations, particularly related to elevator safety and construction compliance. In 2019, multiple elevator violations were recorded regarding logbook maintenance and hoist rope tagging, though these were resolved.

More recently, in 2024, there was an active violation concerning a sidewalk shed and construction safety compliance. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero reported cases in the past seven reporting periods from 2018 to 2024. While the building has encountered several emergency service requests and subsequent investigations, many of these complaints were either closed without resolution or required tenants to refile for proper access. The property has also undergone various pest control measures, with regular baiting and inspections continuing through 2025.
