Augrented Insights Report for 2145 2nd Avenue

The 5-story, 8-unit tenement building at 2145 2nd Avenue in East Harlem, owned by Jimmy Mateus and built in 1910, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. As of mid-2025, there are six active ECB violations related to failure to certify corrections on immediately hazardous conditions from 2021-2022, and recent inspections in May 2025 identified unauthorized signage and a hazardous condition affecting fire egress. The building has a concerning history of heating and hot water problems, with emergency complaints recorded in March 2023 and February 2022, along with multiple bedbug reporting violations showing open status from 2019 to 2024.

Food safety issues have been persistent, with multiple food poisoning complaints between 2022-2023, though these were generally deemed isolated incidents by health authorities. The property has undergone various inspections and received citations for various safety and maintenance concerns, including plumbing violations, electrical issues, and rodent activity. While recent rodent inspections in 2025 and October 2024 passed, there were indications of rat activity in September and April 2024.

The building's history includes multiple instances of non-compliance with NYC codes, particularly regarding the installation and maintenance of safety equipment and proper reporting of pest control measures. The commercial space on the first floor (Ricardo's) has been the subject of several health and safety inspections, requiring regular attention to maintain compliance with city regulations. While some issues have been resolved through inspections and repairs, the presence of multiple open violations and recent safety concerns suggests ongoing maintenance challenges for the property.
