Augrented Insights Report for 244 East 21st Street

244 East 21st Street is a 6-story, 24-unit residential building located in the Gramercy neighborhood, constructed in 1936 and owned by Hugh Kirtley. The building has experienced persistent rodent-related issues in 2025, with eight reported rat sightings between January and July 2025, and multiple inspections confirming rat activity, including three inspections in the first half of 2025 showing ongoing infestation problems.

Recent maintenance concerns include an open plumbing issue with a basin/sink reported in May 2025, among previous water-related problems, as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code Complaints regarding water leaks between 2023-2025. The building has had safety-related violations requiring attention to emergency systems, including a 2023 inspection revealing defective smoke detectors and carbon monoxide devices in Apartment 10, with similar issues previously noted in Apartment 6.

Other notable violations include problems with door functionality, such as defective self-closing doors at the entrance noted in 2023. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status according to annual reports from 2019 through 2024, and previous complaints regarding building shaking in 2019 were unable to be investigated due to access issues. Recent inspections and 311 service requests collectively paint a picture of ongoing pest control challenges and various maintenance issues that have required attention over the past few years.
