1201 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10065
Regency Towers, located at 1201 2nd Avenue in Manhattan's Upper East Side, is a 34-story, 532-unit residential building constructed in 1963. The building has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent months, with particular attention required for water-related problems including an open heavy flow water leak complaint from June 2025, a resolved water supply issue, and a history of water-related complaints in spring 2025. Other significant recent issues include mold and pest infestations in May 2025, heating problems (both building-wide and apartment-specific) in March 2025, and various proprietary Building Department violations related to the parking structure's condition, including spalling concrete and exposed rebar, with active penalties totaling $6,830.
The parking garage has been a recurring concern, with multiple violations and complaints between 2023-2025 regarding structural integrity and safety. The building has shown a pattern of maintenance challenges throughout 2024-2025, including water-related incidents, heating issues, and unsanitary conditions. Apartment 518, in particular, has required multiple repairs involving caulking, plaster surfaces, and bathroom fixtures.
The property owner has received several emergency violations in 2023-2024, including failure to maintain the parking structure's safety. The building's facade work and scaffolding systems have also generated multiple complaints in 2023-2024, though most were not substantiated upon inspection. While the building has maintained a relatively low incidence of bedbug infestations in recent years, with only one reported case in 2024, the pest control history shows periodic rodent activity, with inspections in 2017-2021 indicating both passing and failing results. The property's extensive history of maintenance requests, violations, and repairs suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and infrastructure that require careful monitoring.
