1347 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10021
1347 2nd Avenue is a 5-story, 16-unit New Law Tenement building located on the Upper East Side and owned by Alex Cruz. The property, constructed in 1920, has experienced numerous maintenance challenges in recent years, with particular issues related to heating system failures, as evidenced by multiple HPD complaints regarding heat and hot water problems throughout 2023 and 2024. The building has also faced significant sanitary concerns, including recurring rodent activity, with multiple inspections confirming rat presence between 2021 and 2024, and issues with pest infestations noted in 2024.
A notable cluster of problems emerged in early 2024 specifically in apartment 2S, including water leaks, ceiling damage, pest infestation, and malfunctioning heating systems, leading to several open violations under the Housing Maintenance Code. The building's systems have shown persistent problems, including electrical issues with a power outage in January 2024 and plumbing concerns involving radiators. Recent inspections in March 2024 identified violations related to fire safety in the 5th story public hall that have since been addressed, though several other violations from January 2024 remain open.
The property has a documented history of boiler-related issues, with an ECB violation in February 2023 noting various defects including leaking sections and exposed wires. While the building has maintained a "0" count for bedbug infestations in recent reporting periods, the ongoing rodent issues, heating system failures, and various maintenance violations suggest continued challenges in building management. Recent Department of Buildings inspections in 2023-2025 have generally concluded with "No Violation Warranted" findings, though there was an Oath Violation served in February 2023 regarding the boiler system.
