2315 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10035

The five-story, nine-unit tenement building at 2315 2nd Avenue in East Harlem, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Jennifer Perez, has experienced ongoing maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, there are multiple open emergency maintenance code violations as of March 2025 concerning unsanitary conditions (including mold and pests), safety equipment (missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors), and various non-emergency issues such as window frame problems and appliance concerns.

A significant concentration of violations was documented in Apartment 3C during an October 2024 inspection, including pest infestations (both roaches and mice), plumbing issues (leaky faucets), and problems with safety equipment (missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors). The building's maintenance history shows recurring challenges with basic systems and safety requirements, including a pattern of violations related to heating systems, as evidenced by multiple boiler-related complaints between 2019 and 2020, and more recent concerns about safety equipment. While recent rodent inspections in 2025 have shown some improvements with a "Passed" result, the building has experienced intermittent failures in pest control compliance.

The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status according to official filings between 2018 and 2024. The Department of Buildings has documented various safety concerns over the years, including a 2022 complaint about locked/blocked egress, though this was found to warrant no violations upon inspection. Recent 311 complaints and HPD violations in 2025 suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and safety systems, particularly focusing on basic habitability issues such as mold, pests, and inadequate safety equipment.
