2006 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10029

2006 2nd Avenue is a 4-story, 6-unit Old Law Tenement building located in East Harlem, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Apraham Djebiyan. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past five years, with the most recent concerns involving door-related problems (2025), ceiling plaster issues (2024), and water supply access issues (2023). Notable violations were issued in September 2024 regarding maintenance of fire escape components and multiple self-closing doors throughout the building.

The property has experienced periodic issues with basic services, including heat/hot water problems in 2022 (resolved), and two power outages in July 2020 (neither resulting in violations). The building's maintenance history reveals a pattern of recurring issues, particularly affecting Apartment 3 on the 3rd story, which has documented violations in 2024 related to plaster surfaces, door mechanisms, and window balance systems. While the property has maintained compliance with rodent inspections, with most recent inspections in 2025 and 2024 showing passing results, there was one instance of rat activity reported in August 2024. The building's systems have undergone some attention, with permits issued in 2018-2022 for electrical and plumbing work, including estimates for repairs and upgrades.

Importantly, the building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status since 2019, with no reported infestations or re-infestations in the past five reporting periods. The property had some concerning incidents in 2019, including complaints about garbage/recycling storage and pest issues, though most of these complaints were not substantiated upon inspection. The building's boiler system faced scrutiny in 2019, resulting in an Environmental Control Board violation regarding safety components, but this was later resolved without penalties. Recent inspections and complaint resolutions suggest that while maintenance issues persist, they are generally being addressed through proper channels, though access for inspections has occasionally been problematic.
