Augrented Insights Report for 2148 2nd Avenue

2148 Second Avenue is a 5-story, 16-unit old law tenement building in East Harlem, built in 1920 and currently owned by Max Drivin. The property has a significant history of heat and hot water-related issues, with documented complaints spanning from 2021 through 2025, including consecutive complaints in February 2025 and a cluster of complaints in late 2023. While several of these complaints were marked as "emergency" by the Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) department, access issues prevented full inspections during multiple incidents.

The building underwent structural monitoring in 2023, and complaints regarding building shaking/vibration were recorded in 2022. Multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations have been documented, including issues with cement spalling and missing brickwork on the north facade in 2022, which resulted in a $1,250 penalty. The facade maintenance work in 2023-2024 led to violations related to safety concerns with scaffolding.

Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with annual reports from 2021 through 2024 showing zero infested units, and all rodent inspections from 2017 to 2025 have passed. The property has experienced various maintenance and safety issues over recent years, including multiple heat-related complaints, exterior maintenance violations, and temporary issues with building systems. However, routine inspections indicate consistent compliance with rodent control requirements and successful eradication of bedbug infestations, suggesting some aspects of building maintenance are being properly managed. The most recent heat-related complaint from February 2025 remains particularly notable, given its recent nature and building-wide impact.
