2353 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10035

2353 2nd Avenue is a 5-story, 9-unit tenement building located in East Harlem, built in 1900 and currently owned by Nina Demartiniday. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with multiple complaints related to water leaks, electrical problems, and flooring issues. Most notably, in March 2024, there were significant emergency complaints about heavy water flow, lighting problems, and floor issues, all of which were subsequently closed with violations issued.

The building's most recent maintenance concerns center around apartment 5B, which has multiple open violations as of May 2024, including issues with water leaks, plaster surfaces, and lighting fixtures. These violations require repairs to address problems with water leakage affecting walls and ceilings, lighting fixtures, and plaster surfaces. The building has shown a consistent pattern of maintenance requests over the years, with particular attention needed for water-related issues, as evidenced by multiple complaints in 2023 and 2024.

The property also had a heat/hot water issue that affected the entire building in November 2023, though this was corrected promptly. Despite these problems, it's worth noting that the building has maintained an active record of passing rodent inspections, with the most recent inspection in July 2025 showing no issues. Additionally, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past three years, with all previous filings showing zero affected units. The building's records also indicate an open violation related to failure to file the 2018 external low pressure inspection, dated June 2023.
