1523 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10075
1523 2nd Avenue is an 18-story, 208-unit cooperative building constructed in 1957 and currently owned by Genie Gavenchak. The property has experienced several recurring issues over recent years, most notably with rodent activity, evidenced by multiple inspection reports showing rat sightings and bait applications from 2020 through 2023. The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, including plumbing issues that required interventions from both the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) and the Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) agency, with the most recent complaint regarding water supply problems filed in December 2022.
Recent records indicate active management responses to building issues, with the most recent bedbug reports (2022-2024) showing minimal infestation cases, and the building presently maintaining compliance with bedbug reporting requirements. The property has undergone several permitted work projects between 2019 and 2023, including multiple emergency work permits. Significant violations have been recorded, including a May 2023 ECB violation for a boiler leak that incurred a $312 penalty, though this appears to have been addressed subsequently. The building's management has generally responded to violations and service requests, as evidenced by multiple cases having been resolved or closed with corrections confirmed, including historical issues from the 1980s and 1990s related to various systems and conditions.
The building's recent history shows a pattern of addressing both routine maintenance and emergency issues, with particular attention to plumbing systems and pest control. While there have been multiple violations and service requests over the past five years, most have been promptly addressed and closed. Compliance with current regulations is evidenced by the recent bedbug reports showing no active infestations, though the building continues to be monitored for rodent activity as demonstrated by regular inspections and bait applications through 2023. The most recent permit activity suggests ongoing building maintenance and improvements, with work being properly permitted and documented.
