1698 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10128
1698 2nd Avenue is a 5-story, 12-unit residential building constructed in 1920 in Manhattan's Upper East Side, currently owned by Tzongyih Jean. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly between late 2018 and early 2019, when multiple heat and hot water outages and plumbing problems were reported, including radiator, bathtub, shower, and sink issues. While these complaints were investigated, no violations were found, and the cases were closed.
In December 2023, two critical violations emerged: an expired sidewalk shed permit resulting in a $6,250 penalty, and concerns about fallen limestone window sidestones at the 2nd and 3rd floors, though this violation was resolved with a $6,280 penalty. A building shaking/vibration complaint in October 2023 and a defective boiler complaint in 2021 also received Oath Violations. The building's bedbug reports from 2020-2024 indicate no infestations, with all reports showing zero infested or re-infested units.
Rodent inspections have been conducted regularly, with results showing generally compliance, though there was one failed inspection in October 2023. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) has conducted multiple inspections, particularly in response to emergency complaints, and while violations were not typically found, the building has required ongoing maintenance attention. The most recent housing maintenance code violation from March 2023 related to an unfiled annual bedbug report, though this appears to be a technical compliance issue rather than an infestation concern.
