2118 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10029

The 2-family residential building at 2118 2nd Avenue in East Harlem, owned by Jeremy Tahari, has a mixed maintenance history since its construction in 1920. The most significant recurring issue has been heat and hot water service problems, with four emergency complaints recorded in March 2022 alone regarding the entire building, followed by another apartment-specific incident in October 2022.

While these complaints were ultimately resolved, the pattern suggests some instability in building systems during that period. More recently, in April 2023, there was a complaint about defective/exposed electrical wiring, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. The building has been free of bedbug infestations for the past three years, with official reports from 2022-2024 showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units.

Of particular note is the building's consistent performance in pest management, having passed all rodent inspections between 2018 and 2025, including six consecutive passes between 2022 and 2025. The only other maintenance issues on record were related to cabinet concerns in April 2021, although no violations were issued following HPD inspections. While the building has experienced some notable maintenance issues, particularly during 2022, the absence of recent heating system complaints and successful pest inspections suggest improved stability in recent years.
