1450 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10021

1450 2nd Avenue is a 6-story, 42-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, owned by Michael Sacchetti and constructed in 1961 under the Old Law Tenement classification. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, particularly during December 2024 through January 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed through HPD suggesting persistent problems with the heating system despite reported resolutions.

Notably, Apartment 5B had documented violations in April 2024 regarding inadequate heat and hot water supply, along with several other maintenance issues including missing safety devices (carbon monoxide detector and smoke detector) and a bathroom air vent problem, though these violations were certified as corrected by May 2024. The building has a history of elevator-related concerns, particularly in late 2018 when multiple complaints were logged regarding the single elevator service and various operational issues, resulting in Environmental Control Board violations requiring repairs.

A 2018-2019 bedbug infestation was recorded in five units, though subsequent annual reports through 2024 show zero infested units, indicating successful eradication. The property has maintained consistent compliance with rodent inspections, passing all inspections from 2010 through 2019. While the building has experienced various maintenance challenges over the years, including heating system problems and elevator service issues, recent records indicate improvements in both heating system responsiveness (with prompt HPD investigations) and pest control (with no recent infestations reported).
