2108 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10029

This 16-unit, 5-story Old Law Tenement building at 2108 2nd Avenue in East Harlem, owned by Arman Noghreh and constructed in 1920, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there was a significant heat and hot water system failure affecting the entire building in January 2025, resulting in multiple emergency complaints, though records indicate some of these were duplicates of earlier reports.

The building has also faced ongoing rodent issues, with the most recent inspections in 2025 showing both rat activity and compliance passes, though a rat sighting was reported as recently as March 2025. A cluster of building-wide complaints in 2024-2025 highlighted concerns with unsanitary conditions, including garbage storage issues and plumbing problems, though HPD inspections often found no housing code violations. The property has several open maintenance issues as of mid-2025, including paint/plaster concerns and pest-related problems.

Previous years' records (2022-2024) show multiple violations of building codes, particularly regarding entrance and vestibule doors, fire escape functionality, and lighting in public areas, though most were subsequently closed after required repairs. The building has maintained a clean bedbug report history from 2019-2025, with no reported infestations or eradications in any unit. Two separate complaints regarding potential illegal hotel activity and conversion were filed in 2023-2024, but inspectors were unable to gain access to conduct verification.
