555 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10016

The four-story, six-unit Old Law Tenement building at 555 2nd Avenue in Kips Bay, dating back to 1910 and currently owned by 5557 LLC, has experienced several notable events in recent years. Most significantly, there are active violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements and external low-pressure system inspection compliance, with the bedbug report showing no infestations since 2020 and the low-pressure inspection violation issued in September 2024.

The building underwent facade repair work in 2022-2023 that led to an Environmental Control Board (ECB) violation for inadequate lighting under the sidewalk shed, with a $12,500 penalty imposed and still outstanding as of 2023. Multiple complaints regarding illegal work and sidewalk conditions were filed between 2021 and 2023, though inspections generally found no violations warranting further action. The property has maintained good general conditions, with all rodent inspections since 2010 passing successfully, most recently in March 2025.

Housing Maintenance Code violations have been relatively minimal, with the most recent bedbug report filing indicating proper compliance, though it was noted that the original violation filed in 2021 remained "closed" without a recorded resolution date. The building's maintenance record shows regular filing of required reports, with the past five bedbug reports showing zero infestations or treatments needed, suggesting effective pest management protocols in place. The permit issuance record shows an electrical work permit was issued in March 2021, though the specific scope of work and its completion status is not detailed in the provided data.
