2167 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10029

The 10-story, 16-unit residential building at 2167 2nd Avenue in East Harlem, owned by Morris Platt and constructed in 2008, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past five years. Notably, there have been persistent heating and hot water problems reported in 2023 and 2024, both classified as emergencies by the Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) department. The building has also faced regulatory scrutiny, with multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations for failing to file annual bedbug reports between 2021 and 2024.

More recently, as of August 2024, there is an active ECB violation related to exterior facade maintenance, citing cracks in the balcony slab on all floors, for which a penalty of $1250 has been imposed. The building's elevator system has presented challenges, with complaints about single device service in both 2020 and 2023, leading to Oath Violations in both instances. While the property has generally maintained good rodent control, passing inspections consistently from 2019 to 2025, it did receive a failing grade for "Other Reasons" in the August 2020 inspection.

The building has had a few unsanitary conditions reported, including mold in 2022 and a pigeon waste issue in 2020, though these complaints were addressed. An important infrastructure requirement currently pending resolution is the failure to file the FISP Cycle 9C Technical Report by February 21, 2024. The property has passed multiple inspections over the years, though access was not granted for the May 2022 mold inspection. Regular monitoring of heating systems and timely response to emergency service requests will be essential for maintaining resident comfort and compliance with housing regulations.
