1648 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10028

1648 2nd Avenue is a six-unit, four-story Old Law Tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side and owned by Eva Matischak. The building, constructed in 1925, has generally maintained good standards of habitability over the past decade.

Regular rodent inspections have been consistently passed since 2012, with the most recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 showing no significant rodent-related issues. The building's bedbug reporting history, spanning from 2021 to the present, shows zero documented infestations, successful eradication, or re-infestation cases, though there have been annual violations related to the timely filing of bedbug reports with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). In recent years, the property has experienced some challenges with nearby food establishments, as evidenced by two Department of Health complaints in 2025 and 2022 regarding rodents, insects, or garbage issues, both of which were closed with no significant findings.

A notable incident occurred in 2021 related to vaccine mandate non-compliance, though this pertains to a food establishment rather than the residential building itself. While the building has not shown any serious maintenance issues or safety concerns, the repeated requirement to file bedbug reports properly suggests some administrative oversights, though this appears to be more of a procedural matter than a direct resident impact. The building's overall track record, particularly in terms of pest management and safety inspections, indicates stable maintenance practices, with all known violations being promptly addressed or administrative in nature.
