Augrented Insights Report for 2154 2nd Avenue

2154 2nd Avenue is a 5-story, 17-unit old law tenement building in East Harlem, built in 1910 and currently owned by Steven Croman. The property has experienced significant and persistent maintenance issues in 2025, particularly concerning heat and hot water service, which generated multiple emergency complaints throughout March 2025, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

Other recent issues include an open complaint regarding garbage/recycling storage, multiple water leak incidents, and an unsanitary condition involving pests that resulted in violations. The building's maintenance history shows a recurring pattern of problems with basic services, as evidenced by multiple heat/hot water complaints, water leaks, and a generally aging infrastructure that requires attention. The Department of Buildings records from 2023-2024 show several concerning patterns, including three active ECB violations from October 2023 related to unpermitted work involving plumbing installations and interior alterations in apartments 3C and 4C, accumulating penalties totaling $37,500.

The property has had mechanical issues as evidenced by boiler-related violations in 2024, with an active ECB violation describing multiple defects including missing covers, corrosion on the rear boiler door, and other maintenance needs. A notable series of rodent inspections in 2024-2025 indicate ongoing pest control challenges, with several inspections showing rat activity, though the most recent inspection in April 2025 passed. The building has also demonstrated a history of resident safety concerns, with violations issued in 2023-2024 for various safety-related issues, including missing window support brackets for air conditioning units and past records of pest infestations in multiple apartments, though recent bedbug reports indicate no new infestations since 2021.
