1296 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10065
1296 Second Avenue is an 18-story, 289-unit Class A apartment building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Michael Nath. The building has experienced several concerning issues in recent years, particularly with its heating system; a notable incident occurred in November 2023 when HPD was unable to gain access to investigate complaints of heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building. The property has also faced recurring rodent-related challenges, with multiple complaints and inspections between 2024 and 2025, though recent inspections in 2024 have shown compliance.
The building underwent facade work that led to an ECB violation in June 2024 for failing to maintain exterior brick surfaces between floors 6-9, resulting in a $2,500 penalty. Between 2022-2023, the building had several violations related to life safety systems, including issues with smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. A significant cluster of complaints between 2022-2025 involved food establishment concerns, particularly regarding pet/animal-related issues, though these appear to have been addressed through DOHMH inspections.
The building's maintenance history reveals multiple infrastructure-related complaints and violations, including a notable emergency water leak complaint from 2018 affecting apartment 12K, which also had various maintenance issues requiring repairs to light fixtures, plastered surfaces, and security systems. While there have been some tenant safety inspections and work permit complaints in recent years, most were resolved without resulting violations. Notably, the building has maintained a bedbug-free record according to annual reports from 2019 to 2025, with no reported infestations during this period.
