961 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10022
The three-story, 16-unit building at 961 2nd Avenue, owned by Eduard Berisha and located in Midtown, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems. Between late 2023 and early 2024, there were multiple complaints and violations related to heating and hot water availability throughout the building, with the most recent violation recorded in May 2023 specifically citing deficiencies in providing hot water to apartment 2B.
The building has also encountered water supply problems, as documented in December 2023 and February 2024. More recently, in mid-2024, the Department of Buildings noted significant facade issues, including masonry cracks, spalling, and deteriorated window lintels, resulting in active violations and penalties totaling $625.00. The property has maintained a relatively clean record regarding pest issues, with no bedbug infestations reported in their annual filings since 2021, and rodent inspections show passing results in recent years, with the most recent inspection in February 2025 passing.
Several complaints were filed in 2024 regarding building maintenance, including missing signage, garbage storage issues, and general janitorial concerns, though most were either resolved or no violations were found upon inspection. The building's history shows a pattern of heat and hot water complaints during winter months, particularly in late 2023 and early 2024, which required multiple emergency responses from housing authorities. While the facade issues identified in 2024 represent the most serious current maintenance concern, the building has generally passed recent health inspections, including food establishment inspections in 2025 and rodent inspections in 2023-2025, indicating basic safety and sanitation compliance.
