2 Sutton Place South, Manhattan, NY 10022
2 Sutton Place South is a 19-story, 127-unit residential building constructed in 1938 and currently owned by William Lawson. The building has undergone several significant inspections and faced various compliance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple attempts to conduct Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspections in 2022, 2024, and 2025, with access being denied on two occasions.
In 2021, the building received two Environmental Control Board violations related to exterior maintenance, specifically concerning cracked cast stones, mortar joints, and swarf conditions, with penalties totaling $3,125. The building's safety systems were notably addressed in 2019 when violations were issued for defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 1A, along with a requirement to arrange self-closing doors, though these were certified as corrected in April 2019. The property has maintained a generally good track record regarding pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past six years (2019-2025).
Recent rodent inspections in 2025 showed mixed results, with one initial inspection reporting rat activity, though this was followed by a compliance inspection that passed. The building's permit history shows regular maintenance and improvement work, with several plumbing and electrical permits issued between 2019 and 2023, including two permits issued in May 2023. The most recent tenant safety inspection in March 2025 was conducted successfully, though a Local Law 188 compliance inspection from July 2024 remains active with access denied on the initial attempt. The property's 311 complaint history includes only one smoking violation in 2020, which was resolved through a warning letter.
