240 East 2nd Street #4D, NEW YORK, NY 10009 · 4D
East Village, Manhattan · 1 BR · $3,200/mo · active as of 9/27/2026
This 1910 building has 127 open HPD violations, including 15 Class C violations—the most serious category requiring immediate correction for hazardous conditions like lead paint, lack of heat, or vermin. That's a notably high violation count for a 24-unit building and warrants asking the broker which violations have been addressed and requesting documentation of recent repairs. The building also had 3 heat complaints filed in the past 12 months, so at your viewing, ask current tenants about winter heating reliability and check radiators in each room. On price, the $3,200 asking rent is about 11% below the neighborhood median of $3,595 based on 45 comparable listings, which may reflect the building's condition issues. The listing photos show virtual staging in the bedroom and living areas and use wide-angle photography that can make rooms appear larger than they are—bring a tape measure to verify dimensions against any furniture you plan to bring. Pets are allowed per the listing, but confirm this in writing before signing. The managing agent on file is Sandra Bruni; the listing is handled by R New York.
