Augrented Insights Report for 117 East 37th Street

117 East 37th Street is a 10-story, 58-unit residential building in Murray Hill, constructed in 1954 and currently owned by Selim Thaqi. The building has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the past two years, with a notable concentration of problems in late 2024 and early 2025. There have been multiple indoor air quality complaints during this period, including ventilation issues and construction dust in June 2024, along with plumbing and wall maintenance problems in December 2024.

A concerning rodent infestation pattern has emerged in 2025, with multiple bait applications and inspections showing persistent rat activity between March and June 2025, following earlier rat sightings in 2024. The building has also faced elevator system challenges, with a series of complaints about single-device service in 2021, though inspections did not result in violations. Noteworthy safety issues were addressed in 2021 regarding carbon monoxide and smoke detectors.

The property has several open violations related to self-closing door mechanisms, including doors to the cellar and laundry room, identified in a September 2023 inspection. Historical records show issues with building systems and maintenance compliance, including three active violations from 2019-2020 concerning failure to file annual boiler inspection reports and energy benchmarking documents. While recent bedbug reports from 2022-2024 show no infested units, the building's health and safety record indicates ongoing challenges with maintenance response times and environmental control compliance. The Department of Buildings has conducted multiple inspections over recent years, with varying outcomes including some requiring remedial action and others showing no warrant for violation.
