Augrented Insights Report for 237 East 20th Street

The 10-story, 72-unit New Law Tenement building at 237 East 20th Street in Gramercy, owned by Adam Parkoff and constructed in 1929, has experienced persistent maintenance issues over the past several years, with particular attention needed to plumbing systems and doors/windows. Between 2024 and 2025, the building had multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions and pest issues, with most complaints being resolved through inspections or verification of corrections, though one pest complaint in December 2024 could not be inspected. There were numerous plumbing-related complaints throughout 2024, including issues with sinks, toilets, and water supply, some of which required emergency intervention.

The building also received violations regarding fire door conditions and self-closing mechanisms at the 9th story in July 2024, as well as multiple active Department of Buildings violations related to the failure to submit required reports for the Facade Inspection and Safety Program (FISP) Cycle 9C. The property has a history of various safety and maintenance concerns, including parking garage equipment issues and exterior building maintenance violations. In 2021-2022, there were violations regarding the building's facade condition and mandatory safety inspections, while 2020 showed multiple instances of work being conducted without proper permits.

Recent rodent inspections in 2023 and 2025 passed, though there was one failed inspection in March 2023 showing rat activity. Importantly, the building has maintained a bedbug-free record from 2019 through 2024, with no reported infestations in any of the eight annual reports submitted to the authorities. While many past violations have been resolved or dismissed, the building currently faces active violations regarding the failure to submit required facade inspection reports for multiple years, indicating potential ongoing oversight issues with building maintenance requirements.
