2135 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10029

2135 2nd Avenue is a 4-story, 6-unit Old Law Tenement building located in East Harlem, built in 1900 and currently owned by Saied Soleimani. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there is currently an open door-related emergency complaint filed with HPD in June 2025 that remains unresolved as of this writing.

The building has a documented history of rodent-related concerns, with five failed inspections between 2023-2025, including one indicating rat activity (June 2023), though it passed its most recent inspection in December 2024. Three consecutive years between 2021-2023 resulted in violations for not filing the required annual bedbug report, though the subsequent filings (2024-2025) show no reported infestations or eradication efforts. The building's maintenance history shows periods of heating issues, with an emergency heat/hot water complaint logged in November 2018 that was resolved within three days.

The property has undergone regular food establishment inspections by DOHMH, with the most recent in July 2023 being administratively closed after addressing the reported issues. While the building has faced various environmental and maintenance challenges, it has generally maintained compliance with basic housing codes as evidenced by the multiple passed rodent inspections and the absence of recent bedbug infestations in official filings. The current open door complaint represents the most pressing ongoing maintenance issue at the property as of mid-2025.
