The Housing Maintenance Code is about living in a building — heat, hot water, pests, paint — and is a different thing from the Department of Buildings violations elsewhere on this page, which are about building work. The two most common open violations in the whole city are both paperwork, so a high count is a reason to read the classes rather than a verdict. What each class means Counted from the extract accessed Oct 3, 2026.
How to read this street page
A shared street name does not mean a shared project.
These records are grouped by the street name and borough published by DOB. Each address remains an independent filing unless its source record explicitly connects it to another site. Use this page to scan activity along the corridor, then open an individual filing for its exact status, scope and identifiers.
Source records also publish this avenue as 2 Avenue. Those spellings are consolidated here without changing the address shown on any individual filing.
What stands on Second Avenue, and what is being done to it.
A filing is about a building rather than about a street, so the records here are grouped into the buildings they name. Each drawing is that building’s own footprint at its own roof height, from the outlines City Planning publishes; the panel beside it is what the tax roll records about the lot, and the last one is every filing here that names it.
What the brokerages are currently asking along this street. These are the first 12. Each one links to the agent’s own page, where the price is live and the photographs are.
