2124 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10029

2124 2nd Avenue is a four-story, six-unit residential building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Anna Cicalo and located in East Harlem. The property has faced multiple maintenance challenges over the years, with a significant cluster of issues arising in early 2021, including water leaks (both heavy and slow), mold, flooring problems, door issues, and concerns about cabinets and ceilings. These complaints were generally not able to be inspected upon initial reporting.

More recently, from June 2023, there were violations related to missing external low-pressure inspection filings for the years 2018-2021, though these were subsequently dismissed. The building has shown consistent attention to rodent control, passing all inspections between 2017 and 2025, and has maintained a confirmed record of no bedbug infestations across seven consecutive reporting periods from 2019 to 2025. Historical violations of note include several fire safety and security concerns, such as blocked fire escape egress and unauthorized locking mechanisms on the roof bulkhead door, though many of these were resolved by 2021.

Previous issues from 1990 included concerns about inadequate lighting at the entrance and ceiling repairs in Apartment 4, as well as a vermin infestation in the same unit, all of which were addressed. The building has demonstrated recent compliance with rodent inspection requirements, passing all inspections from 2017 through 2025, and bedbug inspections have consistently shown no infestations or instances requiring eradication. The most recent significant compliance issue related to missing low-pressure inspection filings was resolved promptly following issuance.
