Augrented Insights Report for 956 2nd Avenue

The 19-story residential building at 956 2nd Avenue in Midtown, owned by Serso Cordero and constructed in 1959, has demonstrated a recurring issue with heat and hot water services over the past five years. Most notably, in early 2025 (February), there was a building-wide heating and hot water failure, though these services were reportedly restored during the inspection process. This follows several similar complaints since 2020, including two separate emergency incidents in 2020 involving both apartment and building-wide heat/hot water issues, two additional heat complaints in 2021 and 2022, and various other plumbing-related problems.

The building has maintained consistent pest control measures, with all six annual bedbug reports from 2021 to 2024 showing zero infestation or eradication cases. Recent rodent inspections (2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020) have all passed, indicating good pest management. The property has experienced several food-related incidents over the past few years, with five food poisoning complaints between 2022 and 2024, though all were determined to be isolated incidents by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

There were also some infrastructure-related issues, including a plumbing emergency involving sewage in 2020 and complaints regarding a sidewalk shed in 2023. Regulatory compliance appears generally adequate, with the building recently passing rodent inspections and maintaining up-to-date bedbug reporting. However, there is currently an active violation related to the failure to submit Energy Efficiency Report (EER) documentation as of June 2024, and a previously dismissed violation regarding the benchmarking report for energy use from May 2024, which was confirmed submitted.
