1486 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10075

The 4-story, 3-unit tenement building at 1486 2nd Avenue in the Upper East Side, owned by Salvatore Gaudio, has experienced several concerning health and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, at the end of 2024, there were complaints about unsanitary conditions related to pests, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.

The building has a documented history of food safety violations, with multiple complaints in 2024 and earlier years regarding food poisoning and rodent/insect issues. Three consecutive years from 2021-2023 received violations for failing to file annual bedbug reports, though official bedbug reporting shows no infested units in the last three filing periods. The building's recent history shows a concerning pattern of health-related complaints, including multiple food establishment issues, pest complaints, and recorded instances of vaccine mandate non-compliance in 2021.

Despite these issues, the building has maintained compliance with rodent inspections, passing every one conducted between 2010 and 2023, including a recent inspection in February 2023. Of particular note, there is an active Department of Buildings violation as of April 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2022 external low pressure inspection report, which remains unresolved as of the latest data. While the building has demonstrated some commitment to addressing health and safety concerns through its bedbug reporting and regular inspections, the pattern of recurring violations and complaints suggests ongoing challenges in maintaining consistent compliance with housing maintenance codes and health regulations.
