941 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10022

The four-story, three-unit tenement building at 941 2nd Avenue, owned by Robert Medina, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues over the past two years, most notably recurring problems with heat and hot water. In 2025 and 2024, there were two separate heat/hot water emergencies that required HPD intervention, both of which resulted in violations being issued to the property owner. The building has also faced persistent pest control challenges, particularly in September 2023 when multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions and pests were filed, leading to violations being issued.

More recently, rodent activity has been confirmed in inspections conducted in February and March 2025, following a period of relative stability in pest control outcomes. An inspection in November 2023 issued a Class C violation for a mouse infestation specifically in Apartment 4. The property has undergone various maintenance assessments and corrections over the years. In late 2023, violations were noted regarding defective self-closing doors and safety systems, including issues with smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detection in Apartment 4.

Historical records show the building has had multiple fire escape accessibility concerns that were addressed between 2020-2021. All documented bedbug reports from 2019-2024 show no infestation count, suggesting effective management of this particular issue. The building's systems have undergone some improvements, with multiple work permits issued in 2019 for various maintenance and repair work. A complaint regarding possible illegal hotel rooms was investigated in April 2024, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.
