1732 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10128

The five-story building at 1732 2nd Avenue, owned by Tamir Glazer, is a 12-unit New Law tenement constructed in 1915, currently facing significant rodent infestation issues. Between April and June 2025 alone, there were multiple documented rodent-related complaints, with inspections showing consistent rat activity and violations requiring follow-up inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH). The property has experienced recurring issues with garbage/recycling storage, though some HPD inspections found these conditions did not violate housing laws.

Apartment 2C has documented maintenance issues from late 2024, including problems with window guards, bathroom door, tiles, and electrical outlets, for which violations were issued but not yet certified as corrected. The building has a history of various maintenance challenges, including emergency heat and plumbing issues reported in early 2025, and persistent sanitation problems. While the property underwent some facade maintenance in 2020, as evidenced by complaint records and dismissed violations, issues were documented regarding self-closing doors and general building maintenance compliance. The bedbug report shows intermittent infestations between 2020-2022, though none have been documented in the past two filing periods (2023-2025).

Recent rodent control efforts have been documented through multiple bait applications and inspections in 2024-2025, indicating ongoing efforts to address the infestation problem. The property has also been subject to various Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints and violations, including concerns about building debris and illegal conversion. While many violations have been resolved or dismissed, there are ongoing concerns that suggest recurring maintenance and compliance challenges. The building's age and recent service request patterns indicate potential ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance, though recent inspections have not documented new classes of violations beyond the established rodent and sanitation issues.
