Augrented Insights Report for 278 East 3rd Street

278 East 3rd Street is a 6-story, 18-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1900 and currently owned by David Powell. The property has experienced persistent heating and hot water issues throughout 2024, with multiple emergency complaints filed between September and November 2024, including one instance of dangerously scalding hot water recorded at the first floor unit (1A) in November 2024.

The building has also faced consistent maintenance challenges, particularly regarding building safety features, with violations issued in October 2024 for defective self-closing doors at both the north and south fire doors to the roof, as well as issues with the basement door. Despite these concerns, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual reporting periods from 2019 through 2025 showing zero infested units. While the property had numerous rodent-related complaints between 2019-2020, recent inspections from 2020 through 2025 have consistently passed, indicating effective pest management.

The building's Department of Buildings records show multiple violations between 2020-2022 related to energy efficiency reporting requirements, though these were ultimately dismissed. The most recent rodent inspection in February 2025 passed, suggesting current compliance with health department standards. The building's history shows a mix of persistent heating system problems and sporadic maintenance issues, particularly regarding doors and fire safety equipment, though many recent violations have been promptly addressed and closed by management.
