Augrented Insights Report for 1659 2nd Avenue

1659 2nd Avenue is a 30-story, 258-unit residential building constructed in 1970 and currently owned by Eric Kotcher. The building has experienced several significant construction-related issues over the past several years. Most recently, in May 2025, there was an active complaint regarding construction lead dust in the common areas, which remains in progress.

The building has a documented history of unpermitted work, particularly in August 2019 when multiple violations were recorded for illegal electrical work in apartments 30G and 30H, though these violations were ultimately resolved with a rescinded stop work order and a $800 penalty. In January 2025, the building was inspected for Watch List Compliance, following complaints about unauthorized work. The property has undergone various safety and maintenance inspections, with rodent activity recorded in inspections throughout late 2024, though a recent inspection in May 2025 passed.

The building's maintenance record shows regular permit filings for electrical and plumbing work between 2020-2021, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvements. Bedbug reports from 2018 through 2024 show zero infestations, indicating effective pest management. Notably, the building faced multiple violations in September 2024 for failing to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection, though these were subsequently dismissed. The most recent inspection records show the building continues to undergo regular oversight for both safety and habitability standards, with varying results for pest control and construction compliance.
