1626 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10028
1626 2nd Avenue is a 5-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building located in New York City's Upper East Side, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by 1626 2nd Ave LLC. The building has experienced persistent heating and hot water issues throughout 2024-2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed in March-May 2025 regarding system failures in the entire building. During these incidents, Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) inspectors repeatedly encountered access issues when attempting to verify the complaints.
The building's heating system seems to be a recurring concern, with several Boiler-related complaints filed through the Department of Buildings in 2023-2025, though inspections often resulted in "Unable to Gain Access" responses. The property has a documented history of maintenance challenges, including plumbing issues, paint/plaster problems, and rodent infestations. Notable violations between 2021-2022 included water damage to Apartment 3S, building system access issues, and work completion discrepancies.
The Environmental Control Board (ECB) issued several violations in 2021-2023, including a $10,000 penalty related to the Tenant Protection Plan. However, the building has maintained a clean record for bedbugs, with zero infestations reported in recent years. Regular rodent inspections conducted between 2018 and 2024, with the most recent in September 2024, generally show compliance, though there was one failure in December 2020 for "Other Reasons". The building's management has obtained multiple permits for various works between 2020 and 2022, indicating ongoing maintenance and repairs as required by code.
