449 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10010
The four-story, 14-unit Old Law Tenement at 449 2nd Avenue in Kips Bay, built in 1920 and currently owned by Eric Schwartz, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, most notably center around heat and hot water systems. The building has faced multiple heat/hot water complaints in 2024 alone (March 19, 21), though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions during their visits.
The property has also encountered various safety and maintenance issues, including door/window problems (both in 2023 and 2024), as well as concerns about garbage/recycling storage and rodent conditions in mid-2023. Multiple violations were issued in 2023 regarding door repairs needed at the building's front entrance, and there are open violations as of 2024 pertaining to the door fitting at the front entrance and issues with window counterbalances in unit 4A. Recent records show active efforts to address pest control, with multiple rodent inspections and bait applications throughout 2023-2025, though some inspections initially failed compliance.
The building has maintained a "zero infestation" record for bedbugs in the past five years, with reports showing no infested units between 2019-2024. Two violations regarding external low pressure inspection filings were issued in 2023, with one remaining active and the other dismissed in October 2023. The property has undergone various inspections and received permits for maintenance work, including exterior and alteration work in 2018 and 2020, suggesting regular building upkeep though with some lingering compliance issues that warrant attention.
