623 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10016

623 Second Avenue is a 4-story, 9-unit residential building located in Murray Hill, built in 1910 and currently owned by Angel Ramos. The building has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, most recently reported in August 2024 and previously in July 2022, though access to units was not granted for inspection in the most recent complaint.

Between late 2022 and 2023, multiple complaints were filed regarding water-related issues, including slow leaks and damp spots, as well as problems with paint/plaster ceilings, resulting in violations related to these conditions. There have also been concerns regarding plumbing, mold, and general maintenance issues during this period. The building underwent several inspections and compliance checks in 2024, including a Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspection which was completed with no enforcement action required, though a violation was recorded for failure to post tenant protection plans during construction.

While the rodent inspections show mixed results, with recent inspections in 2025 indicating passed and rat activity results, the building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations over the past eight reporting periods. The property has had multiple permit issuances for work performed between 2019 and 2021, and its bedbug and rodent management records demonstrate ongoing monitoring and treatment efforts. The building's recent history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly with heating systems and water-related issues, though many earlier violations and complaints appear to have been addressed through inspections and repairs.
