Augrented Insights Report for 21 1st Avenue

21 First Avenue is a 7-story, 39-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by 21 First Avenue LLC. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant concerns revolving around plumbing systems. As of June 2025, there are active Partial Stop Work Orders related to plumbing work, and earlier plumbing complaints from 2024 resulted in violations.

The building has also been subject to pest-related complaints, with the most recent reports in September 2024 noting unsanitary conditions related to pests, though these were reportedly corrected according to HPD records. The building has a documented history of various maintenance and compliance issues, including multiple violations related to appliance maintenance (refrigerators and ranges), water leaks, and electrical problems (such as lighting issues). In 2020, violations were issued for flooring issues in Apartment 10, which were later addressed.

More serious concerns emerged between 2019-2021 regarding potential illegal transient use of Apartment 22 on the fifth floor, which triggered multiple violations for fire safety, means of egress, and sprinkler system requirements; these violations were subsequently resolved. The building has maintained favorable rodent inspection results, passing all inspections between 2019 and 2025. Recent bedbug reports from 2023-2025 indicate isolated infestations, although these were reportedly eradicated. The property currently has an active ECB violation from 2024 regarding failure to comply with permit requirements for exterior duct installation, with a penalty of $1,250 imposed.
