2255 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10029

The four-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement building at 2255 2nd Avenue in East Harlem, owned by Jason Gallea, has shown a pattern of heat and hot water issues in January 2022, with both building-wide and apartment-specific complaints requiring intervention from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). These heating problems were resolved promptly, but the building has since maintained better conditions, as evidenced by recent inspections.

Between 2021 and 2023, the building received multiple class A violations related to bedbug report filing requirements, though these violations were subsequently closed. Historically, the building had significant safety issues in the 1970s, with violations related to inadequate lighting, loose wood treads, and encumbered public hallways - all of which were certified as resolved in December 2023. In more recent years, the building's maintenance record has improved considerably.

Bedbug reporting periods from 2023-2025 show no infestations were reported, and the property has consistently passed rodent inspections between 2018 and July 2025. The most recent rodent inspections in July 2025, as well as all previous inspections since 2018, have passed, indicating effective pest management practices are currently in place. The building's overall maintenance record shows positive trends in recent years, with prompt resolution of heating issues and improved compliance with health and safety regulations.
