1417 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10021

1417 2nd Avenue is a 4-story, 12-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1915 and currently owned by Lucia Tuan. The property has experienced recurring issues with both pest control and regulatory compliance over recent years. Most notably, there has been consistent non-compliance with the requirement to file annual bedbug reports, with violations documented in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 that remain open as of 2025.

The building's plumbing systems have shown vulnerability, with an emergency water supply complaint in early 2024, though no violations were issued following the HPD inspection. There have been multiple food establishment-related complaints over the past several years, including issues with food worker hygiene, rodent activity, and various sanitary concerns. The property has two active Environmental Control Board violations from 2019-2020 related to unauthorized construction work and potential structural disrepair at the roof level, with penalties totaling $3,125.

The building's maintenance history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing violations, including concerns about public hall lighting, heating systems, and fire safety features. Notably, while the building has passed several rodent inspections in recent years (most recently in 2028), there have been documented instances of rat activity in 2018 and 2020 that required bait application. The property has also experienced various food safety issues, including a food poisoning incident in 2022 and multiple complaints concerning pest management and sanitation. The consistent pattern of violations and complaints, particularly regarding bedbug reporting and food establishment regulations, suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and compliance.
