Augrented Insights Report for 1694 2nd Avenue

1694 2nd Avenue is a 5-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, built in 1918 and currently owned by Cai Qi Zheng. The building experienced a significant event in July 2020 when a 5-alarm fire affected the roof area above units 5N/S, causing exposure of roof and joist structures, with additional concerns about non-functioning fire doors and debris in common areas. Emergency work was subsequently undertaken, and while violations were initially issued, they were ultimately dismissed after repairs were completed and signed off in February 2021.

Since then, the building has maintained an active compliance record, though there are currently open violations from a 2020 inspection in apartments 4N and 5N regarding various maintenance issues including plaster surfaces, electrical supply, gas fixtures, and door conditions. The building has a concerning history of food-related incidents, with multiple Department of Health and Mental Hygiene complaints about food poisoning reported between 2019 and 2023, though most were deemed isolated incidents. There have also been multiple rodent-related inspections and baiting efforts between 2022-2024, with the most recent inspections passing; however, there was an administrative complaint in 2022 regarding rodents/insects/garbage.

The ventilation system was inspected in 2022 with no violations found. The building's bedbug reports from 2019-2025 show no infestations or eradications, indicating a successful pest management program, and rodent inspections in 2024-2025 have passed successfully. A currently active Department of Buildings violation from June 2023 pertains to failure to file an external low pressure inspection for 2021.
