1592 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10028

1592 2nd Avenue is a 5-story, 16-unit residential building built in 1920 and currently owned by Enredi Shtylla. The property has undergone several notable events in recent years, with the most significant being a facade deterioration issue identified in 2022 that resulted in two Environmental Control Board violations with penalties totaling $4,687 due to unsafe conditions involving spalling and cracking masonry window sills posing risks to pedestrians. The building experienced a heat/hot water emergency complaint in January 2021, though inspectors were unable to access units for verification.

More recently, in late 2022, there were multiple complaints regarding building conditions including fire escape safety and window frame issues, though these inspections resulted in no violations being issued. The building's maintenance history shows some concerning patterns, including three bedbug incidents reported between 2022-2024, though with proper eradication measures taken. The property has consistently passed rodent inspections from 2018 through 2024, with the exception of one failed inspection in October 2017.

An additional point of concern is the building's failure to file an annual bedbug report in 2022, which was duly noted in a Housing Maintenance Code violation. The Department of Buildings records indicate several complaints regarding posted notices and work conditions, including a stop work order in November 2022 that was later rescinded. The most recent bedbug report from December 2024 shows no active infestations in the past year, suggesting improved pest management. The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to major issues as they arise, though accessibility for inspection purposes appears to be an ongoing challenge during certain complaints.
