1707 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10128

1707 2nd Avenue is a 5-story, 18-unit old law tenement building in the Upper East Side, constructed in 1901 and currently owned by Sheena Holness. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, particularly during late 2019 when multiple emergency complaints were filed about these systems affecting the entire building, though inspections found that service had been restored.

In 2021, there were concerns about flooring conditions and mold, both of which were investigated by HPD with no violations issued. The property has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections, with the most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 showing no issues. Recent documents show the building's management has been diligent in addressing various maintenance requirements, including annual bedbug reporting requirements, which have consistently indicated zero infested units since 2019.

While there were several Housing Maintenance Code violations issued in 2019 regarding the need for light-colored paint in public areas across all floors and one violation regarding a store awning obstruction, these were appropriately addressed. More recent complaints, such as a 2022 vaccine mandate non-compliance complaint and a 2021 food establishment issue (later closed), suggest isolated incidents rather than systemic problems. The building's management has successfully addressed multiple administrative violations over the years, including evidence of prompt remediation of smoking violations and regular maintenance of public spaces.
