1324 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10021

The five-story, 17-unit Old Law Tenement building at 1324 2nd Avenue, owned by Michelle 1324 LLC, was constructed in 1910 and is located in Manhattan's Upper East Side neighborhood. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most significant being a heat and hot water outage in March 2023, which was reportedly resolved shortly after HPD intervention.

The building faced pest-related challenges in 2021, with multiple emergency complaints noting unsanitary conditions, including a Class B violation for bedbug infestation specifically documented in apartment 2D, though this violation was ultimately certified as corrected by June 2021. The property's recent history shows attention to food safety concerns, with two food poisoning incidents reported in 2021 and 2022, both deemed isolated by DOHMH, and more recently a food establishment complaint in late 2024.

While there were rodent sightings and a pest complaint in 2020 and 2021 respectively, inspections generally show compliance with sanitation requirements, as evidenced by passing rodent inspections conducted almost annually from 2010 through 2020. Notably, the building's bedbug reporting records from 2021 through 2024 show no documented infestations or eradications in the past three reporting periods, suggesting an improvement in this particular issue. All recent Department of Buildings complaints from 2022 and 2023 were resolved with no violations found upon inspection, though there was an emergency unsanitary condition complaint in 2021 that required departmental intervention.
