2232 1st Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10029

The five-story, eight-unit residential building at 2232 1st Avenue in East Harlem, owned by Thomas Webler, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over recent years, with multiple emergency complaints recorded between 2018 and 2023. Most notably, in February 2023, there were two building-wide heat/hot water complaints, both of which were eventually resolved but required HPD intervention. An additional heat-related complaint from 2019 was notable for HPD's inability to gain access to apartments for inspection.

The building currently has four active Department of Buildings violations related to the failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2018-2021, issued in June 2023. However, it's worth noting that the building has consistently maintained a clean record for bedbugs, with the most recent annual report (2024) showing zero infested units, and all rodent inspections between 2018 and 2025 have passed successfully, indicating effective pest management. The property has shown some maintenance activity, with permits issued in 2018 and 2019 for work classified as "EW" (presumably relating to exterior or environmental work, though the exact nature isn't specified in the data).

More recently, a water leak complaint was filed in June 2025, which was closed by July 2025. The building's bedbug reporting history from 2020-2024 shows consistent compliance with reporting requirements, always indicating zero infestations during the respective periods. While the heating system has been a recurrent issue, the most recent heating complaints were resolved within a few days, suggesting that management is responsive to maintenance needs when they are reported.
