1712 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10128

The 12-unit, 5-story Old Law Tenement building at 1712 2nd Avenue in the Upper East Side, owned by Christina Ting, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past five years. The most significant recurring problems have been with heat and hot water systems, with two emergency complaints filed in 2022 and 2021, though both were resolved promptly. The building underwent multiple inspections between 2019-2024 that revealed administrative violations related to annual bedbug reporting compliance, though the building has consistently reported no bedbug infestations during this period.

A 2019 fire safety concern was documented regarding an awning obstructing the fire escape, which resulted in both DOB violations and an ECB violation with a $250 penalty, though this appears to have been resolved. The property has maintained a generally positive inspection record, with recent rodent inspections in 2024, 2023, and 2022 all passing. Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) investigations into unsanitary conditions and a refrigerator issue in 2020 were resolved without violations being issued.

Two Food Establishment-related complaints from 2019 regarding ventilation and food temperature were addressed by the Department of Health. The building's permit history shows at least two work permits were issued in 2019 and 2020, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvements to the property. While there have been multiple maintenance issues requiring attention over the years, most have been addressed promptly and effectively, with the most recent bedbug reports indicating zero affected units and successful eradication of any instances since 2021.
