1640 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10028
1640 2nd Avenue is a 6-story, 22-unit New Law Tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, built in 1915 and currently owned by Baldomero Rodriquez. The building has experienced recurring issues with heating systems, as evidenced by four emergency heat/hot water complaints between 2021 and 2023, most notably affecting Apartment 20, which required inspections and resulted in violations for inadequate heat and hot water supply. The property has also faced persistent sanitation challenges, particularly in 2023-2024, with multiple Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) complaints regarding food establishment issues and rodent problems.
While recent inspections in 2024 showed "Passed" results for rodent inspections, previous records indicated periods of rat activity in 2022 and 2023. The building's maintenance history shows regular bedbug reporting compliance since 2019, with no reported infestations in the past three years. A noticeable pattern of heating system issues emerged in 2023-2024, with at least five separate complaints regarding heat and hot water problems affecting various parts of the building.
The Department of Buildings records indicate an active violation for failure to file 2019 external low-pressure inspection as of June 2023. The property has had some construction-related issues in the past, including a 2020 violation regarding construction safety, though this was resolved. Despite these challenges, the building has maintained good compliance with rodent inspections, with most recent inspections showing no significant rodent activity since 2024, suggesting some improvement in building maintenance and pest control.
