2030 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10029

2030 2nd Avenue, a 4-story, 6-unit residential building in East Harlem owned by Eric Szeto, was constructed in 1910 as an Old Law Tenement. The building has experienced recurring Housing Maintenance Code violations in recent years, with four consecutive violations between 2021 and 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD. Despite these violations, the building's subsequent bedbug filings from 2022 through 2024 have indicated no infested or re-infested dwelling units, suggesting effective pest management.

A Department of Buildings violation from June 2023 regarding the failure to file an external low-pressure inspection was dismissed in August 2023. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections, with most recent inspections from 2022 to 2025 showing consistent compliance and passing results. There were two notable instances of rodent-related issues: a "Rat Activity" designation in March 2022 (the only such violation in records), and a "Failed for Other Reasons" designation in August 2021.

These appear to be isolated incidents, as all other rodent inspections have resulted in passing grades. The building's overall violation history shows a pattern of late compliance rather than recurring maintenance issues, with recent years showing improved compliance with both bedbug reporting and rodent control measures. As of the most recent inspections, the building appears to be maintaining better adherence to housing maintenance requirements, particularly in pest control and rodent management.
