302 Pleasant Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10035

302 Pleasant Avenue is a 5-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building located in East Harlem, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Raymond Ragucci. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, with complaints recorded in January and February 2019 that required emergency responses, though HPD was unable to gain access to inspect the conditions. More recently, in June 2022, there were plumbing emergencies involving both bathtub/shower and toilet issues, which were resolved following HPD intervention.

The building has maintained a clean bedbug record since 2019, with no reported infestations in the annual filings from 2019 through 2024. Additionally, rodent inspections have consistently passed since 2019, with recent inspections in 2023-2025 showing continued compliance, though bait was applied in 2021. Recent concerns include a 2023 DOB violation for failure to file the 2019 external low-pressure inspection, which remains active as of July 2025.

In 2019, there was an illegal work complaint regarding a rooming house application, but inspection access was not granted. The building has demonstrated some maintenance activity, as evidenced by a permit issued in May 2022 for work initially filed in July 2020. Overall, while the building has experienced periodic maintenance issues, particularly related to plumbing and heating systems, recent years have shown improved pest control management and rodent inspection compliance.
