1437 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10021

The four-story, six-unit tenement building at 1437 2nd Avenue, owned by Sultan Bayat and dating back to 1910, has experienced several notable events in recent years. Most significantly, in July 2023, the building faced multiple electrical issues including wiring problems and lighting outages, along with concerns regarding window frames. While these complaints were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and ultimately closed with no violations found, they represented a concerning cluster of maintenance issues.

More recently, in September 2024, the building received a violation for failure to file the 2023 External Low Pressure Inspection report, which remains active as of the current date. The building's historical maintenance record shows consistent rodent inspection success between 2010 and 2019, with all inspections passing. However, there is an ongoing concern regarding bedbug reporting compliance.

The building has received four annual violations between 2021 and 2024 for failure to file the required bedbug report, with the most recent being open as of April 2024. While the building did file a bedbug report for the 2019-2020 period showing zero infestation, the continued violations suggest potential administrative oversights rather than active infestation issues. The property has maintained a generally good record for basic upkeep, with all emergency complaints from 2023 being resolved, though the recent electrical and window maintenance issues indicate areas that require continued attention.
