1873 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10029
1873 2nd Avenue is a 4-story, 12-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Katje Hilken, located in East Harlem. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, particularly evident in January 2025 when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding inadequate heating throughout the entire building, and HPD issued violations based on inspections. Similar heat-related issues were also documented in November 2022, and these complaints seem to be a consistent pattern, with records showing at least seven building-wide heat/hot water complaints between 2019 and 2025.
The property has faced several health and safety concerns, most notably involving food establishments near the building. Between 2022 and 2025, there have been multiple Department of Health complaints regarding rodent/insect issues and food safety violations. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections, with the most recent ones in 2024 and 2025 passing successfully, though inspections in 2023 and 2022 indicated rat activity.
While the building has maintained an active bedbug reporting record between 2019 and 2024, all reports during this period indicated zero infested units, suggesting successful management of this particular issue. A 2022 complaint regarding inadequate lighting at the front entrance was resolved, and there was one complaint in 2022 about work being done without a permit, though no violation was warranted upon inspection. The building's maintenance history shows periodic attention to various infrastructure and safety issues, with varying degrees of urgency and resolution.
