1494 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10075

1494 2nd Avenue is a 5-story, 16-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Salvatore Gaudio. The building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections from 2011 through February 2023, suggesting effective pest management. The property has been diligent in reporting bedbug activity, with official reports from 2021-2024 showing zero infested units in the most recent 2022-2023 filing period.

However, there are some concerning safety issues on record, including two open Class C violations from July 2019 regarding unsecured access points (rear yard door and Bilco doors) that remain unresolved as of the latest available data. The building's recent history shows recurring issues with compliance reporting, particularly in relation to annual bedbug report filings, though these violations have now been closed. In June 2023, a violation was issued for failure to file the 2018 external low-pressure inspection, which remains active as of the latest data.

The property has experienced various food-related incidents between 2018-2021, including complaints about foreign objects in food and food poisoning, though these were not directly related to the building itself. Multiple safety notices and requirements were issued in 2018 regarding fire safety, gas leak procedures, and carbon monoxide detection, many of which have since been addressed and closed. While the building has maintained regular rodent and bedbug inspection compliance, the ongoing open violations and historical safety notices suggest areas requiring attention. The property has generally responded to regulatory requirements, though there have been periods of non-compliance with specific reporting requirements, as evidenced by the active violation for the 2018 external low-pressure inspection and past bedbug report filing violations.
