Augrented Insights Report for 40 East 20th Street

40 East 20th Street is a 7-story, 5-unit residential building located in Gramercy and owned by Jonathan Klein. The century-old structure has experienced several significant events in recent years, most notably a heat and hot water complaint in March 2025 that HPD was unable to verify due to lack of access to the apartment. The building has maintained an active bedbug control program, with reports since 2019 showing consistent documentation of zero infested units in recent years, including the most recent filings in 2024 and 2023.

However, there are two active violations on record from 2024 related to FISP Cycle 9B Unsafe Report and Failure to Correct Swamp Conditions, both from 2023-2024. The property underwent significant construction and safety inspection activity in 2024, with multiple tenant safety inspections conducted in August 2024 that resulted in several violations related to inadequate guardrails, inadequate tenant protection plans, and construction debris management in the commercial space. These violations resulted in substantial penalties totaling over $10,100.

Additionally, there were two tenant safety inspections in August-September 2024 that initially issued Stop Work Orders, though these were ultimately rescinded. The building's heating system has shown recurring issues, with the most recent complaint in 2025 echoing similar concerns from 2023. While the building has demonstrated compliance in various areas, including passing rodent inspections in 2010, 2011, and 2014, the recent pattern of heating system complaints and multiple construction-related violations suggests ongoing maintenance and safety challenges. The property has maintained a regular schedule of facade inspections as required by LL11/98, with the most recent "Unsafe Notification" issued in February 2023 now closed.
