1440 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10021
The 19-story, 138-unit building at 1440 2nd Avenue in Manhattan's Upper East Side, owned by Elizabeth Rogak and constructed in 1966, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. Most notably, there are ongoing open violations from a September 2020 Housing Maintenance Code inspection related to safety requirements, including the need to post gas leak procedures, carbon monoxide detector requirements, smoke detector requirements, and to repair a defective intercom system in apartment 14E. The building has faced multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) compliance matters, with active violations regarding the timely filing of FISP (Facade Inspection Safety Program) reports, though some related violations were dismissed based on subsequent compliance.
A recent DOB complaint from September 2024 regarding Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspections remains active. The building has a mixed record of health and safety issues documented through 311 service requests and inspections. In 2023, there was a DOHMH complaint regarding rodents/insects/garbage in a food establishment, which was administratively closed. Previous years saw the building contend with indoor air quality concerns (2020), sewage odor issues (2020), and various maintenance matters.
While there was one reported instance of bedbug infestation in 2020, subsequent annual reports from 2021 through 2024 show no further infestations. The building has consistently passed multiple rodent inspections between 2010 and 2019, suggesting effective pest management. From 2020 to the present, multiple permits have been issued for various works, indicating ongoing maintenance and improvement efforts by management. The building's history demonstrates regular compliance monitoring through inspections and reporting requirements, though some persistent violations related to safety notices and systems remain unresolved as of 2025.
