1852 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10128
The 26-story, 49-unit residential building at 1852 2nd Avenue, owned by Elizabeth Tozer and built in 1988, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past two years, with the most recent cluster of problems occurring in March 2025, including ongoing heat/hot water issues and emergency-level water leak and mold complaints. The building has demonstrated persistent infrastructure challenges, particularly affecting the 25th-floor apartment (25B), with multiple documented water leaks and mold conditions between 2023-2024, resulting in several Housing Maintenance Code violations.
A significant portion of the recent complaints center around heat and hot water issues, with multiple reports between 2024-2025, some of which were not fully accessible for inspection by HPD. The building underwent facade work in 2023-2024, which generated multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) violations related to construction safety compliance, including unsecured cables and safety protocol violations, resulting in several ECB penalties totaling over $10,000.
Recent inspections have shown some positive developments, with rodent inspections in 2023-2024 passing after previous issues in late 2021-2022, and there have been no reported bedbug infestations since 2019. The building's emergency repair history shows regular maintenance activity, with multiple permits issued in 2023-2025 for various repairs and improvements, though some DOB violations related to facade maintenance from 2021-2022 remain active. The property's ventilation and safety systems were inspected and found compliant as of October 2024, but there are still outstanding heating system issues as of March 2025 that require attention.
