Augrented Insights Report for 160 East 28th Street

160 East 28th Street is a 4-story, 12-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Mark Scharfman. The building has experienced recurring food establishment violations from 2024-2025, with multiple complaints related to rodent/insect issues, garbage, and licensing matters, though all have been closed without ongoing repercussions.

The property faced significant heating system challenges in both 2021 emergencies, with all heat/hot water complaints subsequently resolved. Unit 3C had several maintenance issues documented in early 2021, including problems with waste lines in both the bathroom basin and bathtub, as well as intercom system defects, though these were properly addressed by 2023. More concerning are two active Environmental Control Board violations from June 2023 related to the ground floor deli grocery, including unauthorized construction of a range hood/ventilation system and a serious fire hazard involving multiple lithium-ion battery chargers.

These violations remain open as of the most recent inspection records. The building has maintained impressive pest control records, with no documented bedbug infestations between 2020 and 2024, and recent rodent inspections in 2023 and 2025 passed without any noted concerns, though a brief period of rat activity was recorded in September 2023. The property has undergone several inspections for unauthorized conversions and electrical issues in 2023-2024, though these inspections found no violations warranting further action.
