The 91-unit residential building at 1952 2nd Avenue in East Harlem, owned by Ranae Bacon and constructed in 1985, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2024, with multiple complaints logged in January, February, November, and most recently in late November, with some instances where HPD inspectors were unable to access units for verification. The building has also faced ventilation system problems, mold issues (notably in apartment 2A), and various maintenance concerns including door/window problems, plumbing issues, and general disrepair as documented in HPD service requests and violations.
A significant cluster of complaints and violations occurred in the second half of 2024, including multiple heat/hot water complaints, a mold violation requiring remediation in apartment 2A, and various environmental control board violations. The property has shown some improvement in recent months, with rodent inspections in 2025 passing, though there had been documented rat activity as recently as early 2024.
Historical data shows intermittent pest issues, including documented bedbug cases in 2019 and 2021, though recent bedbug reports for 2022-2024 indicate no infestation during those periods. Several building systems and safety concerns have been addressed through violations and inspections, including window guard requirements in apartment 309, various maintenance code violations, and multiple heat/hot water system issues affecting individual apartments and the entire building.
