Augrented Insights Report for 283 East 4th Street

283 East 4th Street is a 6-story, 36-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Martin Kropf. The building has experienced persistent heating and hot water issues throughout 2024-2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed by tenants between October 2024 and April 2025 regarding building-wide problems, though inspections frequently encountered access issues. There are three open housing maintenance code violations as of December 2024: one for defective carbon monoxide detectors, one for smoke detector issues, and one concerning a missing or defective self-closing door in the basement vestibule. The building's elevator service has been a recurring concern, with various complaints about single-device operation and no alternate service between 2020 and 2025.

The property faced significant safety and maintenance challenges between 2020-2022, including violations related to sprinkler system deficiencies, unauthorized work without permits, and gas safety concerns. Active violations from 2023-2024 suggest ongoing problems with swarmp conditions and low-pressure inspections. While the building has maintained an apparently successful bedbug eradication record between 2019-2024, areas of concern remain including a 2025 rat activity inspection failure and various compliance issues. Past inspections have revealed problems with building systems and maintenance, including multiple emergency violations regarding heat and hot water systems, and building-wide inspections have noted various safety code violations requiring attention.

The property has consistently undergone regular rodent inspections, though with mixed results in recent years. The building's documented history shows a pattern of heating system issues, elevator problems, and various safety code violations requiring attention. Several complaints regarding building maintenance and safety systems have resulted in active violations appearing to remain unaddressed as of the most recent inspections in 2024. While the building has shown improvement in some areas, such as bedbug management, the continuing pattern of heating system complaints and open violations indicates persistent maintenance challenges.
