635 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10016

The 6-unit, 4-story tenement building at 635 2nd Avenue in Murray Hill, owned by Francesca Notaro, was constructed in 1910 and has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems over the past several years. Most notably, there have been five documented heat/hot water complaints between 2019 and 2022, with the most recent occurring in January 2022. While some of these complaints resolved with systems being restored, access issues prevented proper inspections in multiple instances.

The building has also faced several plumbing-related challenges, including a 2021 sewage leak investigation by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene that found no health code violations, and a 2022 Department of Buildings violation regarding a basement store's waste line that remains active with a penalty of $655. Additional maintenance concerns are indicated by an active elevator violation from April 2019 for failure to file required inspection/test documentation. On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record for pest management, with no reported instances of bedbugs across multiple annual reporting periods from 2019-2024.

The property has also successfully passed all rodent inspections conducted between 2010 and 2025, indicating good overall building hygiene and maintenance practices in this regard. The most recent Department of Buildings complaint from December 2024 regarding work without a permit was referred to the Department of Consumer Affairs for further investigation. While the building has a history of heat-related issues and some outstanding violations, its consistent pest control success and regular rodent inspection compliance suggest effective management of these particular maintenance challenges.
