382 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10010

The 16-story, 262-unit residential building at 382 Second Avenue in Gramercy, built in 1965 and currently owned by Jeremy Block, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over recent years. The most recent concern, reported in August 2023, involved indoor air quality problems, following a similar ventilation complaint in June 2022. The building has a history of violations related to sanitation and maintenance, including open violations as of my last data update in 2023 regarding ceiling issues in apartment 12G and a missing heating system notice in the first-story public hall.

There have been multiple tenant safety inspections between 2020 and 2022, with varying outcomes including one in 2021 where access was denied. The property underwent significant work in 2021, including window-related violations regarding proper safety protocols and a kitchen exhaust system issue that resulted in an active ECB violation with a $500 penalty. While there was a period of heating and hot water problems reported in December 2018, records show these were promptly addressed.

The building has maintained good pest control records, with no bedbug or rodent infestations reported in recent years, and all rodent inspections from 2011 to 2025 have passed. Regular maintenance permits have been issued for various work types over the years, including emergency work, alteration work, and equipment repairs, suggesting ongoing investment in building maintenance, though some repairs have required multiple permits, indicating potential complexity in addressing certain issues. Recent records (2024 and 2025) show no new bedbug infestations or eradications, and the most recent rodent inspection in March 2025 was passed. The building has maintained an active compliance history with regular inspections and prompt responses to violations, though some issues, particularly related to air quality and building maintenance, appear to be recurring concerns.
