1341 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10021

1341 2nd Avenue is a 5-story, 8-unit New Law Tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Alex Cruz. The building has experienced recurring electrical issues, with documented power outages in July 2022 and December 2018 that required HPD intervention.

The most recent violation inspection in March 2023 noted an issue regarding the annual bedbug report filing, though previous records indicate consistent compliance since March 2021, when all units were reported as free of infestation and eradication. In July 2022, multiple violations were identified in apartment 4N, including problems with smoke detector functionality and electrical service, along with several issues with self-closing doors in both the vestibule and apartment areas that were subsequently certified as corrected. The building's maintenance history shows ongoing pest management challenges, with rodent activity documented in recent inspections (July and August 2024) following a relatively clean period from 2019-2021, when most inspections passed.

Previous violations have included a defective fire escape tread (June 2021), which was addressed, and various self-closing door issues identified in July 2022. A sidewalk shed complaint from April 2023 was investigated but found no violations. While the building has maintained relatively good overall compliance with housing codes, the recurring electrical problems, most recently in 2022, and the recent pest control challenges in 2024 stand out as the most significant current concerns.
