1433 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10021

1433 2nd Avenue is a 4-story, 5-unit Old Law Tenement building built in 1910, currently owned by Charbel Massola. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues throughout 2024, with multiple complaints in October 2024 alone, including water leaks, electrical problems, flooring concerns, unsanitary conditions (pests), and heating issues. Notably, eight separate complaints filed in October 2024 were marked as requiring HPD inspections, which were ultimately unable to be completed, while one heating complaint from October 2024 was resolved via phone confirmation of correction.

The building's electrical and plumbing systems have been particularly problematic, with violations issued in August 2024 for unsafe wiring conditions, broken light fixtures, and radiator issues in apartment 2R. The building has a concerning history of violations and safety concerns regarding its facade and exterior. Between 2019-2020, multiple violations were documented related to missing bricks and general disrepair of the building's exterior, particularly above the third-floor windows. The property has also faced consistent issues with its sidewalk shed, with multiple violations and fines documented between 2020-2024, including an active violation from 2024 for an expired permit and inadequate pedestrian protection, with a penalty imposed of $1,280.

Despite these issues, the building has consistently passed regular rodent inspections, with the most recent inspections showing compliance with NYC health codes. The building has a history of maintenance issues including problems with lighting, water leaks, electrical systems, and pest control, with many complaints requiring HPD inspections that were not completed. The facade has experienced structural issues, particularly with missing bricks and deterioration above windows, and there have been persistent problems with the sidewalk shed's permits and safety compliance. However, while these issues are significant, it's worth noting that the building has maintained compliance with rodent inspections throughout the years.
