1568 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10028

1568 2nd Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Oren Goldstein. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, most notably in May 2022, when multiple violations were documented including water leaks affecting the intermediate landing ceiling in the public hall stairs on the 2nd story, painting and plastering concerns, and unsanitary mold conditions.

The property has maintained consistent bedbug-free status across all annual reporting periods from 2020 through 2025, with zero infested or re-infested units documented. Recent activities include a food establishment complaint in May 2025 regarding worker hygiene, which was responded to by the NYC Health Department, and notable compliance issues in February 2022 when multiple violations were recorded regarding vaccine mandate enforcement at what appears to be a building-related commercial space. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections between 2012 and 2019, with all initial inspections passing, though one compliance inspection in October 2019 noted rat activity.

In addition to the earlier mentioned violations, the property was issued a Bedbug Reporting violation in February 2022 requiring the filing of an annual bedbug report, though this does not appear to have continued into subsequent years. While the building's most recent violations have been generally minor or related to commercial space operations rather than residential conditions, the pattern of violations in 2022 suggests a period of maintenance challenges that would be worth monitoring for any recurrence. The most recent documented conditions, showing consistent bedbug-free status and regular rodent inspection compliance, indicate some level of improvement in building maintenance and pest control reliability.
