2014 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10029

2014 2nd Avenue is a 4-story, 6-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1920 in East Harlem, currently owned by Apraham Djebiyan. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with eight documented HPD complaints between March 2023 and March 2025, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. Most recently, in March 2025, there was an emergency heat/hot water issue affecting the entire building that was addressed promptly.

The building has also faced pest-related challenges, with multiple unsanitary condition complaints regarding pests in October 2023 and January 2024, particularly affecting apartment 3B, along with subsequent pest-related violations in 2025. Other maintenance concerns have included water leaks, ceiling issues, and various repairs required for apartment 3B's interior, including problems with paint/plaster, windows, smoke detectors, and various code violations, all of which have been addressed and closed. The building's maintenance record shows some positive developments, including passing rodent inspections in 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025, though there was one instance of rat activity reported in May 2019.

Bedbug inspections from 2019 to 2023 show no infestation cases reported. The property has received multiple housing maintenance code violations that have been certified as corrected, including a 2024 violation regarding an obstructed fire escape egress and various C-class violations in 2024 specifically detailing issues with heat, hot water, pest infestation, and multiple safety systems in apartment 3B. While many issues have been resolved promptly, the recurring nature of heat/hot water problems suggests an ongoing system that requires attention, though most recent complaints have been promptly addressed according to HPD records.
