2401 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10035
2401 2nd Avenue is a 5-story, 15-unit residential building located in East Harlem, built in 1920 and currently owned by Jose Palma. The property has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent concern being a cooking gas complaint from September 2023 that was closed in May 2024. Historical records show recurring problems with heat and hot water, particularly notable in January 2022 and December 2019, though inspections did not always reveal violations. A concerning pattern emerged in December 2019, when multiple issues were reported and subsequently addressed, including water leaks and door/window problems.
The building has faced various violations and maintenance challenges, with the most significant being fire escape obstruction violations identified in June 2020, which remain open as of October 2023. These violations involve blocked egress from fire escapes on multiple floors. In early 2024, violations were issued regarding a stove encumbrance in the 2nd story public hall, though these were certified as resolved by June 2024. The property has maintained an active bedbug reporting history from 2019-2024, consistently showing zero infested units.
Rodent inspections have generally yielded passing results, with the most recent inspections in 2023-2025 showing no significant issues, though a rat activity report was logged in March 2023. Recent inspection history shows a mix of resolved issues and ongoing concerns, with various complaints about illegal commercial use and construction issues being investigated in 2022, though no violations were warranted. The building's typical emergency response pattern includes prompt inspections and resolutions, though some issues, particularly regarding heat/hot water and fire safety, have shown more persistent challenges. The monthly average for housing violations and complaints suggests an active management of issues, though the pattern of recurring heat/hot water problems and fire escape obstructions indicates some areas requiring more attention.
