2019 1st Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10029

The 41-unit, 11-story building at 2019 1st Avenue in East Harlem, owned by Juliana Lauletta, has experienced several notable incidents since its 2007 construction. Most recently, in February 2023, there was an active food poisoning complaint under investigation by the Department of Health. The building faced significant heat and hot water service disruptions in both late 2021 and early 2022, with multiple emergency complaints filed for building-wide issues, though these were subsequently reported as resolved.

Between 2018 and 2019, there were two separate complaints regarding building shaking and vibrations, which were referred to the Department of Transportation for investigation. The property has maintained active rodent control measures, with inspections in 2023 and 2024 passing inspections, though there was a period of documented rat activity in March 2022. Bedbug monitoring from 2018 through the present has shown no infestations.

The building's regulatory history includes a recent active violation from June 2020 regarding failure to comply with a commissioner's order, with a penalty of $1,250 still due. There have been two illegal hotel room investigations (2018 and 2022) and one investigation in 2019 for alleged illegal activity, though all these complaints were closed with no violations found. The property has undergone regular environmental and building inspections, with particular attention to ventilation systems in July 2021, and several permits were issued in 2019-2020 for unspecified work under job number 123801751. The building's management has consistently filed bedbug reports showing zero infestations or related issues from 2019 through 2025, and recent rodent inspections indicate improved management of pest control measures, with the last three inspections passing consistently.
