1051 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10022

The four-story, three-unit residential building at 1051 2nd Avenue in Midtown, owned by 1051 Holding Corp, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. Most notably, the building has recurring violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with open class A violations for failing to file annual bedbug reports in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024.

More concerning, in 2024, multiple environmental control board violations were issued for serious maintenance issues, including unsafe cellar stairs (missing/detached steps), deteriorating bathroom ceilings, and excessive material storage on the first and cellar floors, each carrying a $1,250 penalty. Additional building violations from July 2024 documented facade problems, including cracking stucco, loose window headers, and maintenance concerns on multiple floors that posed hazards to pedestrians. The property has also seen various Department of Buildings complaints and violations between 2019 and 2025, including issues related to sidewalk sheds, construction work, and building maintenance.

Three open violations as of December 2024 relate to failure to certify corrections on immediately hazardous conditions. Despite these challenges, the building has maintained a passing record with respect to rodent inspections, with all inspections from 2010 through 2025 showing compliance. While some violations have been resolved or dismissed, including a sidewalk shed violation and debris issue from previous years, the current active violations suggest ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges that require attention.
