2295 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10035
2295 2nd Avenue, a 13-unit, 4-story residential building in East Harlem owned by Robert Taylor, has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges since at least 2024. Most recently, in May 2025, there were rodent sightings reported, continuing a pattern of pest issues documented throughout 2024 and 2025, including multiple rodent activity inspections where bait was applied. The building has received several emergency complaints regarding plumbing issues, including an open doors/windows complaint from January 2025 and multiple plumbing violations related to basin/sink problems in Apartment 4D.
Safety concerns have been significant, with violations identified in late 2024 regarding missing smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 2D. Building exterior maintenance has been problematic, with multiple violations recorded between 2023 and 2025 regarding spalling stucco, brick damage, and corroded lintels, particularly noted at the parapet level. The building has also faced administrative challenges, including several violations related to the expired sidewalk shed permit and construction site maintenance issues, resulting in multiple $1250 penalties during 2023-2024.
Recent inspections have shown persistent rat activity, with compliance checks in 2025 confirming ongoing issues. The Department of Buildings has recorded multiple violations regarding failed maintenance, including problems with building exterior features, window frames, and various other structural elements. While the building has maintained a zero incidence rate for bedbugs according to the reporting system, the combination of plumbing issues, pest problems, and exterior maintenance violations suggests ongoing challenges with property upkeep. The most recent documented repairs include work completed in 2025 addressing some of the external building issues, though several violations remain active as of July 2025.
