2024 3rd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10029

2024 3rd Avenue, a 4-story New Law Tenement building in East Harlem built in 1910, is owned by Jonathan Hochhauser and contains 9 residential units. The building has experienced recurring heating system issues, with documented complaints in both late 2021 and early 2021 regarding lack of heat and hot water, affecting either the entire building or individual apartments. These complaints were addressed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though access issues prevented complete inspections in some cases.

The building has also undergone several maintenance and safety improvements, particularly following inspections in 2017-2018 that identified various issues in Apartment 2B, including mold, water leaks, and problems with doors and windows. Notable safety improvements were made regarding building security, including the removal of an unauthorized electromagnetic locking device and establishment of acceptable mechanical locks. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with annual inspections from 2019 to 2024 reporting zero infested units.

While there were two instances of rat activity reported during 2019 and 2021 inspections, the building has successfully passed all subsequent rodent inspections from 2022 through 2025. Recent building documentation shows consistent maintenance of health and safety standards, with no major violations or safety concerns noted in the past few years. The most recent rodent inspection in July 2025 returned a "Passed" result, suggesting effective ongoing pest management. The building's management has demonstrated responsiveness to violations and complaints, as evidenced by the timely certification of corrections to various issues, particularly those identified during the 2017-2018 inspection period.
