Augrented Insights Report for 256 East 10th Street

The six-story, 36-unit Old Law Tenement building at 256 East 10th Street in the East Village, owned by Mark Scharfman and constructed in 1920, has experienced numerous maintenance issues and violations in recent years, particularly related to plumbing and sanitation. Most notably, there has been a recurring pattern of water-related problems, with multiple 311 service requests in 2024-2025 concerning water supply issues, slow leaks, and plumbing problems affecting sinks and drainage systems. Between late 2023 and 2024, the building faced multiple instances of mold-related complaints, with violations issued in October 2023 concerning visible mold conditions in Apartment 2C.

The property has also experienced several heat and hot water complaints, including an entire building issue in August 2024, though HPD inspections were unable to gain access for verification. The building's maintenance history reveals concerns about basic systems and safety features, including problems with flooring (with an active complaint as of October 2024), heating systems, and multiple plumbing issues suggesting ongoing infrastructure challenges. A series of violations were documented in 2023 related to Apartment 2C, including unsafe electrical wiring, broken light fixtures, defective flooring, and various plumbing issues that required corrections.

More recently, in 2024-2025, the building has faced challenges with pest control, as indicated by rodent inspection results showing rat activity and failed inspections in January and July 2025. The property has also had several Department of Buildings complaints regarding unpermitted plumbing work and boiler issues, with violations and work orders issued in 2023-2024. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent filings (2022-2024), the building's maintenance record shows persistent issues with basic systems and environmental conditions that have required multiple interventions by city agencies.
