Augrented Insights Report for 231 East 4th Street

231 East 4th Street is a 5-story, 22-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1890, currently owned by Isabel Cabrera. The property has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues in recent years, particularly between 2024-2025, with ongoing concerns about unsanitary conditions, electric wiring problems, and heating/hot water maintenance.

The building has documented multiple instances of mold-related complaints (most recently noted in June 2025), electrical issues (including wiring and power outages), and heating system failures affecting the entire building. Notably, there are three active Environmental Control Board violations from June 2024 regarding unpermitted electrical work, with substantial penalties totaling $22,250 for unauthorized electrical improvements in hallways, common areas, and specific apartments. Recent inspections and service requests reveal persistent infrastructure challenges, including a problematic chimney in the rear yard (active ECB violation as of June 2024), heating system deficiencies, and historical issues with pest control, with bedbug infestations recorded in multiple units between 2019-2024.

The building has also faced inspection access issues in several cases, though most recent rodent inspections in 2025 have passed, following a pattern of previously failing inspections for rat activity. The property has an extensive history of violations requiring correction, particularly related to safety equipment such as smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors, as well as various maintenance issues affecting Unit 4A discovered during an August 2024 inspection, including plumbing, flooring, and window problems. While some historical violations have been resolved, including those from 2019-2020, there remain active violations regarding chimney maintenance, electrical work, and heating system reliability that continue to affect resident comfort and safety.
