324 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10003

The four-story, eight-unit building at 324 2nd Avenue in Gramercy, managed by Anise Baron, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, most notably a heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building in late November 2024, which could not be verified by HPD inspectors due to lack of access to the building. This incident follows a pattern of heat-related concerns, though the previous violations were largely resolved.

The building has maintained a consistent record of compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with all recent reports (2021-2025) showing zero infested or re-infested units, suggesting effective pest management practices. Rodent inspections have been conducted regularly since at least 2010, with the most recent inspection in April 2025 indicating no rodent issues.

The property had one notable administrative violation in 2023 regarding the filing of annual bedbug reports, though this appears to have been resolved as subsequent filings from 2023-2025 show full compliance with reporting requirements. While the building has passed multiple inspections for both rodents and bedbugs over the years, the recent heat and hot water outage represents the most concerning maintenance issue on record, though the ability to access apartments for verification may indicate tenant-related access issues rather than solely building maintenance problems.
