2321 1st Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10035
The 5-story, 8-unit tenement building at 2321 1st Avenue in East Harlem, built in 1910 and currently owned by Roya Delshad, has experienced several recurring issues over the past few years, with the most significant being ongoing heating system problems. Between 2022 and 2025, the building has received multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints from HPD, particularly concentrated in early 2025, though some inspections could not gain access to verify conditions. The building has faced multiple safety compliance challenges, particularly in 2022-2023, with open violations as of April 2024 requiring the filing of annual bedbug reports, and long-standing violations from 2022 regarding missing or defective safety devices in multiple apartments (smoke detectors, CO detectors, and window guards) on the 4th and 5th floors.
A June 2023 inspection resulted in violations for pest issues in apartment 7, and other structural concerns were documented during 2020-2022. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of both reactive and preventive measures. While rodent inspections from 2017-2025 consistently passed, indicating effective pest management, there have been multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions and building maintenance issues.
The facade maintenance was a particular concern in 2020-2022, with violations regarding cracks and spalling brownstone documented in several ECB violations. The property has undergone some repair work, as evidenced by multiple permits issued between 2018-2019 for electrical and plumbing work. While the building's heating system has required repeated emergency interventions, the documentation shows some instances of problems being addressed, though access issues have complicated inspections in several cases. The pattern of violations and complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding building systems and safety compliance, though recent rodent inspection results indicate effective management of that particular issue.
