Augrented Insights Report for 144 East 40th Street

The six-story SRO building at 144 East 40th Street in Murray Hill, owned by Baris Unal and built in 1931, has experienced numerous maintenance issues between 2024-2025, with particularly significant problems relating to heating and plumbing systems. Currently, there are multiple open complaints including unsanitary conditions regarding garbage/recycling storage, radiator issues, toilet problems, and a water leak with damp spots.

Earlier in 2025, there were several heat/hot water complaints affecting the entire building, though most complaints were closed due to inability to gain access for inspection. The building has also been cited for various Housing Maintenance Code violations, including issues with self-closing doors, mold conditions in the community bathroom, and hot water availability in unit 610, all noted during a June 2024 inspection. Historical records show the building has maintained a generally acceptable rodent control record, passing inspections consistently from 2010 through 2025.

There were also three documented bedbug infestations in the most recent reporting period (2022-2023), all of which were eradicated. Past violations related to boiler and elevator inspections in 2019 were dismissed, and two 2025 complaints regarding elevator service were found to warrant no violations upon inspection. The property has an open HPD violation for an unsanitary condition regarding garbage/recycling storage that dates back to January 2025, along with several other ongoing maintenance issues that suggest persistent infrastructure challenges in the building.
