2308 1st Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10035

The four-story, six-unit tenement building at 2308 1st Avenue in East Harlem, owned by George Aryeh, was constructed in 1900 and has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Of particular concern, there was a notable pattern of heating system problems in late 2018 through early 2019, with four separate complaints about heat and hot water issues affecting the entire building, though these were generally resolved within one to two days. More recently, there are two active violations from 2019 and 2023 regarding failure to file annual boiler inspection reports, and a 2021 boiler-related complaint where the inspector was unable to gain access for verification.

The building also underwent some structural modifications in late 2018, with an illegal conversion violation issued against Hydrogen USA LLC, though records indicate that this was resolved. The property has maintained a generally good record in terms of pest control, with all recent bedbug reports from 2021-2024 showing no infested units. Rodent inspections have been mostly favorable, with most results showing no rat activity, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in January 2025.

Multiple housing maintenance code violations have been documented, particularly in 2018, related to building safety and maintenance requirements such as garbage disposal, hallway obstructions, and access issues, though many of these have been addressed and closed. The building's health inspection history includes some food safety violations in 2018, which were also resolved. Since 2022, there have been no recorded bug related issues - marking an apparent improvement in building conditions.
