649 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10016

The 5-story, 44-unit building at 649 2nd Avenue in Murray Hill, owned by Patricia Mehra, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple instances of pest infestations, with open violations as of July 2024 documenting both mice and roach infestations in apartment 2C. The building has faced various sanitation concerns, including unresolved complaints about garbage storage and unsanitary conditions, as well as recent complaints in March 2025 about wall damage and pest issues.

Major infrastructure concerns have also been documented, including a water supply plumbing issue in June 2024 classified as an emergency. The building's maintenance history reveals several significant events, including multiple heat/hot water complaints, with a February 2024 emergency complaint regarding lack of service that could not be verified due to access issues. There have been three instances of dosing violations documented between 2020-2024, including a gas piping installation violation and a plumbing maintenance violation, suggesting prior concerns about building systems.

Recent regulatory compliance has shown some improvement, with a rodent inspection in April 2025 passing, though initial rodent activity was noted in March 2025. The building has maintained its "pass" status on most rodent inspections over the past decade, with only one instance of activity in 2025. Notably, the building has documented zero bedbug infestations in its annual reporting since at least 2019, though there are multiple active violations regarding energy benchmarking and reporting requirements dating back to 2019-2021.
