1744 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10128

1744 2nd Avenue is a 5-story, 8-unit OLD LAW TENEMENT building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Sichun Shen. The building has had minimal recent issues impacting resident safety or comfort, with the most recent significant event being a food establishment-related complaint in April 2020 that was addressed and closed in June 2024. The Department of Buildings (DOB) records show one complaint in 2023 regarding construction work, which resulted in no violations being found upon inspection in November 2023.

In 2019, there was a violation related to an improperly constructed pedestrian ramp at the commercial space entrance, which was resolved with a penalty of $312. The building has demonstrated consistent pest control and maintenance diligence over the past several years. Notably, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past six reporting periods (2019-2024), and all rodent inspections conducted between 2019 and 2024 have shown either passing results or have been resolved, with the most recent rodent inspection in September 2024 passing.

The building's compliance record with rodent inspections is particularly strong, with only one failure noted in November 2017, and all subsequent inspections have passed, including recent inspections in 2023 and 2024. While the building has experienced some violations and complaints over its history, most have been promptly addressed, and recent years have shown particularly good maintenance and pest management practices. The most significant recent issues have been related to commercial space matters rather than residential concerns, and there is no current pattern of recurring problems that would impact resident quality of life.
