1156 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10065
The 4-unit, 4-story building at 1156 2nd Avenue in the Upper East Side, owned by Sean Lavin, was constructed in 1910 and is classified as an Old Law Tenement. The property has experienced several notable incidents in recent years, with the most significant concerns emerging in 2024-2025.
In July 2024, multiple housing maintenance code violations were documented, including issues with emergency safety notices and illegal locking mechanisms at the building entrance, though many of these violations were subsequently closed. There were also plumbing-related complaints in July 2024 that were resolved without violations being issued. More recent concerns have focused on fire safety systems, with three sprinkler system-related complaints filed in early 2025, including two inspections in March 2025 showing inadequate conditions and an inability to gain access for inspection.
Additionally, complaints regarding the certificate of occupancy and work without permits were made in early 2025, though inspections found no violations at the time. On the positive side, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual reports from 2021 through 2024 showing zero infested units, and multiple successful rodent inspections between 2010 and 2019 indicating generally good pest control practices. The most recent 311 service requests have been relatively minor, including a health department investigation of an unpermitted animal facility in 2025 that resulted in no violations being found.
