1982 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10029

1982 2nd Avenue is a 5-story, 11-unit residential building located in East Harlem and owned by Azam Mohammed. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly during early 2023, when multiple complaints were filed regarding electrical problems including power outages and wiring issues, sanitary conditions with pest infestations, and concerns about windows and fire escapes. Specifically, violations were issued in February 2023 related to power outages and pest problems.

More recently, as of July 2023, the building has been cited for multiple violations in apartment 3C, including problems with plaster surfaces, ceramic tiles, plumbing fixtures, and the presence of roaches and mice. Notably, there are open violations from July 2023 concerning the lack of smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 3C, which raise safety concerns. The building's maintenance history shows recurring issues with rodent activity, with inspections in 2025 showing mixed results, including instances of rat activity noted in April, February, and December 2024, though some inspections have passed.

Earlier complaints from 2020 point to elevator service issues that resulted in a penalty. While the building appears to have maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past five filing periods from 2019 to 2025, the persistence of other maintenance issues, particularly during 2023-2024, suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep. As of 2024, there is an active violation related to the failure to file an external low-pressure inspection from 2023, indicating potential regulatory compliance issues.
