1171 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10065
The 12-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building at 1171 2nd Avenue, owned by Robert Jaffe, has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues throughout the past year. Between late 2024 and 2025, there were multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints filed through 311 and Housing Maintenance Code complaints, with the most recent occurring in April 2025. Many of these complaints had to be closed without inspection due to access issues, though some were confirmed as previously resolved during inspector contact.
The building's heating system problems appear to be an ongoing concern, with similar complaints recurring from December 2024 through April 2025. In addition to the heating issues, the building has several notable maintenance violations. An inspection in December 2024 identified a lack of adequate heat in Apartment 2N, and there are existing violations regarding fire door issues at the first story (both hall and cellar access) and water damage to the ceiling in the fourth-story public hall.
Structural concerns were documented in April 2024, including leaking roof issues affecting the fourth-story public hall. Bedbug reports submitted between 2021 and 2024 indicate no infestations during their respective reporting periods. Rodent inspections show generally good results, with only one instance of rat activity recorded in October 2020, and all other inspections from 2016-2020 passed without issues. The building's recent history has been dominated by heat/hot water complaints, suggesting ongoing challenges with the building's mechanical systems.
