1819 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10128

1819 2nd Avenue is a 16-unit, 5-story Old Law Tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, owned by Vito Mazzarino and constructed in 1910. The property has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues throughout 2023, with four separate complaints made between October and December 2023. Notably, three of these complaints resulted in HPD not being able to gain access to inspect the reported problems, though one inspection did lead to a violation being issued for inadequate heat and hot water.

In addition to the heating issues, there have been several other significant maintenance concerns, including plumbing problems (November 2023), and various code violations related to building safety, such as defective self-closing doors at the roof bulkhead and garbage recycling room. The building's records show consistent attention to pest management, with no bedbug infestations reported in the most recent three annual filings from 2023 to 2025. Rodent inspections have been conducted regularly and consistently passed from 2016 through 2025.

While there was one complaint in 2022 regarding work without a permit, the inspector was unable to gain access to investigate further. The property has maintained an active compliance record for bedbug reporting, showing responsible management in this area, though there was one open violation as of December 2023 regarding access to the heating system. The building's history shows periodic maintenance challenges, particularly regarding the heating system, which appears to be a recurring issue requiring ongoing attention.
