312 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10003

Located in New York City's Gramercy neighborhood, 312 2nd Avenue is a 4-story, 10-unit residential building constructed in 1910 and currently owned by 312 Second Ave LLC. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past five years, with the most concerning being recurring mold problems. A notable incident occurred in late 2020 when mold was reported in apartment 5A, leading to HPD violations requiring remediation of approximately 2 square feet of mold on the east wall. This violation was officially certified as corrected in March 2021.

The building has also faced plumbing issues, particularly regarding water supply problems in April 2020, which remain open in the HPD system. Multiple other violations were documented during a January 2021 inspection, including safety concerns such as a key-operated lock on a fire escape window and door-related issues in apartment 5A, all of which were subsequently addressed and closed. More recent records show improved conditions at the property, with routine inspections showing continued compliance. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since at least 2021, with all recent bedbug reports showing zero infested units.

The most recent rodent inspection in April 2025 passed without issues, continuing a pattern of successful rodent control demonstrated by consistent passing inspections dating back to 2010. The building's safety systems and resident notifications appear to be regularly updated, with a 2023 inspection noting appropriate bedbug reporting compliance, though a 2021 violation was noted regarding the need to properly post various safety notices in common areas, including those related to smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. An Environmental Control Board violation was recorded in 2022 regarding an obstructed exit pathway near the rear fire escape, but this violation was resolved with no penalties imposed. The most recent building data shows ongoing maintenance of the property, with the most recent rodent inspection passing in April 2025 and no new bedbug infestations reported since 2021. The building's history suggests a pattern of addressing violations and maintaining compliance with housing codes, particularly in recent years.
