1308 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10065

The 4-story, 6-unit tenement building at 1308 2nd Avenue, owned by Moshe Levy and constructed in 1910, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. Most notably, there is currently an active violation regarding the building's structural condition, specifically concerning deteriorated floor joists and beams in the rear cellar area, which has remained uncorrected since initial citations in 2020.

Other recent violations include multiple failures to maintain proper boiler documentation (high and low pressure inspections from 2017-2018), and several open administrative code violations from July 2023 requiring proper posting of various safety notices and building information. The building has faced multiple heating system challenges, with a hot water/heat emergency complaint in July 2023 and historical boiler-related violations in 2022.

While the property has passed recent rodent inspections (most recently in July 2024) and there have been no bedbug infestations reported in the past three filing periods (2021-2025), there have been recurring issues with required building notifications and emergency response procedures not being properly posted. The property has a documented history of various complaints and violations between 2020-2023, including concerns about building shaking/vibration, unauthorized work, and maintenance failures, though many of these have been resolved or dismissed. Pigeon waste issues were reported in mid-2024 but did not result in any health code violations.
