1827 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10128

The five-story, 12-unit tenement building at 1827 2nd Avenue, owned by Nancy Arzanipour and dating back to 1900, has experienced several notable maintenance and operational issues over the past few years. Most significant was a heat and hot water emergency affecting the entire building in January 2021, though no violations were ultimately issued following HPD inspection. The building has had documented water-related problems, particularly in apartment 5E (including bathroom and kitchen ceiling issues), which required repairs to address leaks and defective plaster surfaces.

A food establishment hygiene violation was recorded in 2018, with the Department of Health issuing written warnings to the owner. While the building has encountered occasional pest issues, including two instances of bedbug infestation reports (2019 and 2023/24), recent filings show no current infestations as of December 2024. The property has maintained consistently passed rodent inspections from 2016 through 2025, indicating successful pest control efforts.

Multiple permits have been issued for various work, including plumbing and electrical maintenance, with the most recent permits issued in 2020-2021. The building underwent regular tenant safety inspections in 2019, 2020, and 2021, none resulting in significant violations. While there have been several infrastructure and maintenance issues requiring attention, the landlord has generally complied with repair orders, as evidenced by the closing of various Housing Maintenance Code violations, including those related to the bedbug reporting requirements established in 2023. The building's age and history as an "Old Law Tenement" are reflected in the pattern of maintenance issues, though recent inspection results suggest improved compliance with health and safety standards.
