Augrented Insights Report for 642 East 14th Street

The 5-story, 18-unit building at 642 East 14th Street in the East Village, constructed in 1900, is currently under serious structural concerns following significant events in late 2023. The building was subject to a full vacate order issued on November 28, 2023, due to compromised structural stability creating unsafe conditions for occupants, with associated fines for failure to comply. Multiple active violations remain regarding emergency work required to address substantial cracks observed in the south and east walls, particularly in the fifth-floor framing, following damage from an adjacent lot evacuation.

The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, including recent rodent violations in 2024, with inspections showing variable results from passed to exhibited rat activity. Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) records from 2020-2024 indicate various maintenance concerns including water leaks, paint/plaster issues, and door problems, though many were resolved without violations. The building's recent history shows a concerning pattern of structural and maintenance challenges. Between 2023-2024, there were several complaints regarding building shaking/vibration and construction work, with some violations being served.

Previous records from 2021 show multiple violations in Apartment 17 related to water damage, plaster surfaces, and cabinet issues, while 2020 complaints included concerns about indoor air quality and window safety. Despite these issues, the building has maintained a clean bedbug record for several years, with no infestations reported in the past eight reporting periods from 2018 to 2024. The most recent rodent inspections in 2025 (February) and earlier inspections throughout 2024 showed variable results, with some indicating rat activity and others passing inspections. The current active structural violations and ongoing maintenance issues suggest significant challenges in maintaining building safety and habitability, particularly regarding recent structural concerns and historical water-related problems.
