1415 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10021

1415 2nd Avenue is a 4-story, 6-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1910 located in Manhattan's Upper East Side neighborhood, currently owned by Michael Lavian. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with three emergency complaints filed between 2019 and 2024, though in two of these cases (2019 and 2022), tenants reported that services were restored before inspections. Two recent complaints from March 2024 regarding flooring and ceiling issues were not able to be inspected by HPD, and these remain unresolved according to the most recent data.

The building underwent a series of rodent inspections in 2020, with initial and final inspections showing rat activity, though a comprehensive inspection on December 11, 2020 found no violations. Between 2019 and 2024, there were multiple violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, though the building's official bedbug reports since 2022 indicate no infestation issues. The property has demonstrated some routine maintenance challenges, including a period of unsanitary conditions regarding garbage/recycling storage in late 2020, though this was resolved without violations.

During the pandemic, there was one reported instance of vaccine mandate non-compliance in September 2021. The building's maintenance history shows both emergency and non-emergency complaints were generally addressed, though some recent access issues in 2024 may indicate ongoing maintenance communication challenges. The most recent inspections and filings show no current pest or infestation problems, suggesting previous rodent and bedbug issues may have been resolved. The building's age and history of heating system complaints suggest that infrastructure maintenance is an ongoing concern, though exact causes of service disruptions are not always clear from the available data.
