1420 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10021
The four-story, six-unit tenement at 1420 2nd Avenue in the Upper East Side, owned by John Rapp, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. The most concerning recent violations involve multiple failures to file required external low pressure inspections from 2018 through 2023, with the most recent violation issued in September 2024 remaining active.
The building has also had periodic heat and hot water issues, with complaints in March 2022 (resolved within one day) and other instances of water supply problems in August 2022 (resolved within three days). While the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene conducted investigations in 2020 regarding potential rodent issues and indoor air quality concerns, no violations were found in either case. The building has demonstrated proper bedbug management over the past five years, with all annual reports from 2019 through 2025 showing zero infested units.
While there were some rodent activity concerns noted between 2016 and 2019, including a failed inspection in December 2019, subsequent inspections from 2020 onwards have consistently passed. A Special Operations Compliance Inspection in June 2021 found no violations, and regular bedbug reporting shows consistent maintenance of pest control protocols. However, the pattern of inactive violations regarding low pressure inspections from 2018 to present represents the most significant ongoing compliance issue for the building.
