2109 5th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10035

2109 5th Avenue is a three-story, six-unit residential building located in East Harlem, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Kenroy Cruickshank. The building has undergone several significant events over the past few years, with the most concerning being a 2021 incident involving unauthorized work to the water and sprinkler system in the cellar, which led to an Environmental Control Board violation (39050517L), though this was subsequently resolved with no penalties.

In 2022, there were issues with the certification of correction for an immediately hazardous violation, but this was ultimately dismissed. A more recent concern can be noted with the building's boiler compliance - a violation for failure to file the 2017 boiler inspection report was issued in November 2019 and remains active as of July 2025. The property has had regular bedbug reporting requirements since 2019, with the most recent reports consistently showing zero infested or re-infested units, indicating effective management of pest control requirements.

Furthermore, the building has demonstrated good maintenance via consistent rodent inspection passes, with regular inspections showing compliance from 2017 through 2025. Notably, two bedbug-related violations were issued in 2022 and 2023 regarding late report filings, though these appear to be administrative rather than indicative of actual infestation problems. The building has maintained regular bedbug reporting since these violations and has passed all subsequent inspections, including three rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025, suggesting improved compliance with health and safety requirements.
