2 Adrian Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10463

The 6-story, 82-unit apartment building at 2 Adrian Avenue in Marble Hill, built in 1926 and owned by Joseph Grubner, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints in early 2025, with an entire building complaint in January 2025 that was partially resolved, while subsequent tenant complaints in February 2025 could not be inspected. The building is currently facing serious administrative challenges, with multiple open violations related to energy benchmarking requirements, specifically regarding the failure to file benchmarking reports and display energy efficiency scores, dating from 2023-2024.

The property has a history of various maintenance issues, including unsanitary conditions (with multiple reports of mold), paint/plaster problems, and water leaks between 2024-2025. There are also open lead paint compliance violations affecting multiple apartments (1B, 2B, 2C, 5A, 22C) from 2023, and a confirmed pest infestation in Apartment 22A from 2024. While the building has passed recent rodent inspections (2021-2022) and has maintained a zero-bedbug infestation record since 2019, there were multiple violations and complaints regarding building safety systems, including smoke detectors and general maintenance issues.

The Department of Buildings has investigated various complaints in recent years, including concerns about falling debris and unauthorized work, though most inspections did not result in violations. The building's management has received several Housing Maintenance Code violations over the past two years, particularly regarding lead paint compliance and energy use reporting. While many past maintenance issues have been resolved, the pattern of recurring heating system problems and open administrative violations suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and regulatory compliance.
