2 East 88th Street, Manhattan, NY 10128
The 13-story New Law Tenement building at 2 East 88th Street on the Upper East Side, owned by Maria Capraro, has experienced several notable events and ongoing issues over recent years. The most recent concerns relate to construction safety, with a January 2025 complaint resulting in an Oath Violation. The building has undergone significant facade work between 2019-2024, during which several violations were issued regarding scaffold safety and construction practices, including a December 2023 Environmental Control Board violation for inadequate lighting on the sidewalk shed, and multiple failures to properly notify the Department of Buildings about scaffold installations.
There are currently three active violations from 2024 related to failure to submit Energy Efficiency Reports (EERs) for multiple years, though previous EER violations from 2020 and 2022 were dismissed upon confirmation of submission. The building's maintenance record shows regular inspections passing for rodent control between 2010-2019, indicating no infestation issues. The property has maintained a clean record for bedbugs, with no reported infestations in the past six reporting periods from 2019-2024.
Historical scaffold-related issues are notable, with previous violations in 2020 and 2019 resulting in stop work orders, though these were subsequently rescinded. The building's permit history shows active construction and scaffold-related work permits being issued throughout 2019-2020, correlating with the period of observed violations. While the building has faced multiple regulatory issues, particularly regarding construction safety protocols and energy reporting requirements, it has maintained a solid record for pest control and basic maintenance standards.
