Augrented Insights Report for 246 East 7th Street

The 24-unit, 6-story New Law tenement building at 246 East 7th Street in the East Village, owned by Daniel Hochberg, has experienced several recurring maintenance and safety issues since 2018. Most notably, there has been an ongoing pest control struggle, with multiple complaints about bedbugs, mice, and other pests between 2018 and 2024, though recent bedbug filings for 2022-2025 show zero infested units. The building has also faced significant water-related issues, including plumbing problems in January 2023 involving bathtubs/showers and basins, and repeated reports of mold in 2021 and 2024.

Heat and hot water complaints were particularly concerning in early 2023, affecting both whole-building and individual apartments, with some complaints going unsupervised. While many complaints have been resolved without violations, including recent 2024 complaints about mold and pests, others have attracted more serious attention. The property has a history of unauthorized modifications and safety concerns, particularly regarding electrical work and construction practices.

In 2021, the DOB issued violations for unpermitted work in the cellar unit (APARTMENT 1), including unauthorized plumbing installations and changes to interior walls, with active penalties of $1,250 each. Previous years saw multiple violations related to construction safety standards, tenant protection plan compliance, and electrical work without proper permits, though most of these have been resolved. The building's management has faced scrutiny for inadequate pest control measures, as evidenced by numerous emergency complaints triggering inspections and inspections showing rat activity as recently as 2024. Building permit records from 2018-2020 show multiple permit issuances for various types of work, including electrical and plumbing modifications, suggesting ongoing maintenance and repair activities.
