529 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10016

The 4-story, 3-unit residential building at 529 2nd Avenue in Kips Bay, owned by Mary Iacono, has experienced several notable issues in recent years, particularly concerning compliance with housing maintenance and safety regulations. Most concerning was a heat/hot water complaint in February 2023 that affected the entire building, though inspectors from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development were unable to gain access for verification.

The building has ongoing violations related to the failure to file required annual bedbug reports from 2021 to 2024, which remain open as of April 2024. Additionally, there are two violations regarding external low-pressure inspection filings, with an active violation from April 2023 and a dismissed violation from June 2023.

While the building has maintained a strong record in rodent inspections, passing all inspections from 2010 through 2025, and there were no reported bedbug infestations in the 2019-2020 reporting period, the pattern of bedbug report violations suggests ongoing documentation compliance issues. The building's most recent heat/hot water complaint and the bedbug report violations are the most significant recent issues, though the heat complaint was promptly addressed through the complaint system, even if access was not granted for verification. The building's age (1910) and its classification as an OLD LAW TENEMENT are consistent with its history of requiring various maintenance compliance measures, though the persistent bedbug reporting violation stands out as a notable pattern in the building's recent compliance history.
