2 East 80th Street, Manhattan, NY 10075

The 6-story, 8-unit building at 2 East 80th Street, owned by Jim Lewis, was constructed in 1912 and has undergone various maintenance and compliance challenges in recent years. Most notably, there are active Building Department violations as of 2024 related to "swarm conditions" and failure to file Cycle 9C unsafe report, which suggest ongoing structural or safety concerns. The building has had significant issues with facade safety, having received multiple violations between 2019-2021 regarding its Facade Inspection Safety Program (FISP) compliance, including a 2021 penalty of $1,250 for failing to file an acceptable amended report.

While the building's bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024 show no infestations, indicating effective pest management, the property has faced other maintenance challenges including the need for an annual bedbug report in 2021. The building's maintenance record shows generally good results in routine inspections, with all rodent inspections from 2010 to 2022 passing successfully. However, the most recent violations suggest ongoing compliance issues with safety inspections and potential structural concerns.

Two exterior work permits were issued in 2019 and 2020, indicating some attempts at building maintenance or improvements. Notably, a 2023 violation regarding the failure to file 2021 external low-pressure inspection was dismissed, though this demonstrates previous record-keeping challenges. The building's history shows a pattern of addressing violations when identified, though some issues remain active as of 2024, particularly regarding facade safety and maintenance compliance.
