1645 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10028

1645 2nd Avenue is a 4-story, 5-unit Old Law Tenement building in Manhattan's Upper East Side, owned by Eric Kalimian and constructed in 1910. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, most notably recurring heat and hot water problems. In 2024, there was a system-wide heating emergency, and in 2019, there were multiple complaints about inadequate heat and hot water supply, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

These heating issues were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), resulting in some violations being issued. The building also had water-related problems in 2019, with multiple complaints about leaks and damp spots leading to violations. A safety-related incident regarding the fire escape was reported in late 2018, though HPD could not gain access to inspect the conditions.

The building has undergone regular rodent inspections since 2016, with all inspections resulting in "Passed" statuses, indicating no rodent infestations. The property has maintained an active bedbug reporting history from 2018 through 2023, with no documented infestations or eradications in any of the annual reports. The building has had some minor maintenance violations, including issues with self-closing doors, plumbing fixtures, and wall conditions in specific apartments, though most of these violations were subsequently addressed and closed. More recently, the building was found to be in compliance with rodent control requirements as of May 2025, and there have been no major safety violations reported in the past two years.
