2039 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10029
The 4-story, 9-unit tenement building at 2039 2nd Avenue in East Harlem, owned by Jameel Ali and built in 1920, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with particular concern regarding rodent infestation. The building has documentation of persistent rodent problems, with the most recent baiting inspections showing consistent rat activity and bait application between October 2024 and June 2025.
Three open violations as of July 2023 remain notable, including issues with a defective vestibule door on the first story, a broken masonry column at the building entrance, and various building maintenance violations. The property has a history of boiler-related problems, with multiple ECB violations issued in 2022 for defective equipment, though these were subsequently resolved.
The building has also been cited for failure to file required high and low-pressure inspection reports in 2023, with active violations for these infractions. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past three reporting periods (2021-2025), the ongoing rodent issues and open building violations suggest continued maintenance challenges. The most recent external inspections conducted in 2024 and 2025 have consistently shown rat activity, with multiple bait applications required to address the issue, indicating a persistent sanitation concern within the building.
